# Email Marketing - How to configure ValidEmail and use email verification in SprintHub

The integration with **ValidEmail** allows you to validate email addresses before sending messages, registrations, or automations in SprintHub. This reduces bounces, improves deliverability, and keeps your database clean.

### ✔️ Bulk verification via Contacts

In addition to individual verification, you can validate emails in bulk using SprintHub filters.

1. Access **System Settings > General > Contacts**.
2. Use the filter **“Does the contact have an email?”** and select the option:
   * **Yes, and the email exists**
3. Integrate with ValidEmail through the link shown on the dashboard.
   * Use the code **SPRINTHUB20** to activate the benefit.
   * Enter your **API Key** to connect the service.

SprintHub will automatically send all filtered emails for validation to ValidEmail.

The process runs in the background and you can track its progress on the dashboard.

### ✔️ Automation with email verification

SprintHub also allows automating email verification within automation flows.

#### **How to configure inside the flow**

1. Access **Automation Flow**, **CRM Automation**, **360º CUSTOMER SERVICE** or **Chatbot**.
2. Create a new flow or edit an existing one.
3. Add the condition **“Does the contact have an email?”** and select:
   * **Yes, and the email exists**
4. Integrate with ValidEmail through the link shown on the dashboard.
   * Use the code **SPRINTHUB20** to activate the benefit.
   * Enter your **API Key** to connect the service.

### ✔️ Define the flow behavior according to the validation status

After verification, configure the actions the flow should perform based on the result:

* **Continue the flow** only if the email is **Valid**
* **End the flow** immediately for **Invalid emails**
* **Add tag** to the contact (e.g.: *invalid email*)
* **Notify an operator** automatically, if necessary

This logic helps keep your database up to date, improves the quality of sends, and avoids wasting automated actions.

***

### 📊 Where to view the verification result

The results are visible in the following locations:

* **Contact record**
* **Contacts listing** (column *Email status*)
* **Contact history**
* **Reports**, when enabled

***

### 📝 Important notes

* Each verification consumes credits from your ValidEmail account.
* If the **API Key expires** or reaches the **usage limit**, verifications will be paused.
* ValidEmail **does not send emails**, it only validates addresses.
* We recommend validating emails before campaigns to reduce SMTP rejections and improve deliverability.
