What You Can Do

With the VerifyForge Zapier integration, you can:

  • Validate emails from form submissions automatically
  • Clean email lists before importing to your CRM or email marketing tool
  • Filter out invalid emails to protect your sender reputation
  • Get detailed validation results including deliverability, risk assessment, and reachability

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  1. A VerifyForge account (sign up here)
  2. A Zapier account (sign up here)
  3. Sufficient email validation credits in your VerifyForge account

  2. Search for "VerifyForge" in the app list
  3. Click "Sign in to VerifyForge"
  4. Authorize Zapier to access your VerifyForge account
  5. Your account will be connected and ready to use

Step 2: Choose a Trigger

Select the app and event that will start your workflow. Common triggers include:

  • Google Forms - New form response

Authentication

VerifyForge uses OAuth 2.0 authentication for secure, seamless integration with Zapier.

OAuth Details

  • Authorization URL: https://verifyforge.com/api/oauth/authorize
  • Token URL: https://verifyforge.com/api/oauth/token
  • Scopes: email:validate, credits:read

When you connect your account, you'll:

  1. Be redirected to VerifyForge
  2. Sign in to your account (if not already signed in)
  3. Review the permissions Zapier is requesting
  4. Click "Authorize" to grant access
  5. Be redirected back to Zapier

Your access token will be automatically refreshed when needed, so your Zaps will continue running without interruption.

Managing Connected Accounts

To view or revoke Zapier's access:

  1. Sign in to VerifyForge
  2. Go to Settings → Connected Apps
  3. Find "Zapier" in the list
  4. Click "Revoke Access" if you want to disconnect

Rate Limits

The VerifyForge API has the following rate limits:

  • 100 requests per minute per account
  • 10,000 requests per day per account

Zapier automatically handles rate limiting with retries. If you hit rate limits:

  • Zaps will pause briefly and retry
  • Consider upgrading your VerifyForge plan for higher limits
  • Use bulk validation endpoints for large lists

Credit Usage

Each email validation consumes 1 credit from your VerifyForge account balance.

Important:

  • Make sure you have sufficient credits before running Zaps
  • Monitor your credit usage in the VerifyForge dashboard
  • Set up credit alerts to avoid interruptions
  • Upgrade your plan if you need more credits

Troubleshooting

"Insufficient Credits" Error

Solution: Add more credits to your VerifyForge account or upgrade your plan.

"Authentication Failed" Error

Solution:

  1. Disconnect VerifyForge from Zapier
  2. Reconnect and re-authorize
  3. Make sure you're using the correct VerifyForge account

Validation Results Not Appearing

Solution:

  1. Test the Zap step to see the actual output
  2. Check that you're mapping the correct output fields
  3. Verify the email field contains a valid email format

Zap Running Slowly

Solution:

  • Check if you're hitting rate limits
  • Reduce the number of simultaneous Zaps running
  • Consider batching validations if processing large lists

Best Practices

1. Filter Early, Filter Often

Add Filter steps after validation to separate emails by quality:

If reachability is "safe" → Continue
Otherwise → Stop

2. Handle Suggestions

When VerifyForge detects a typo, it provides a suggestion field:

  • Store the original email
  • Use the suggested email for communications
  • Notify users of the correction

3. Monitor Credit Usage

Set up a weekly Zap to:

  1. Get your credit balance (future action)
  2. Send yourself an alert if credits are low
  3. Prevent workflow interruptions

4. Segment by Quality

Create different paths for different email quality levels:

  • Safe → Primary marketing list
  • Risky → Re-engagement campaign
  • Invalid → Suppression list

5. Validate at Entry Point

Validate emails as soon as they enter your system:

  • Form submissions
  • API webhooks
  • Import processes

This prevents invalid emails from polluting your database.

Example Zap: Form Submission Validator

Goal: Validate emails from Google Forms and only add valid ones to Google Sheets.

Setup:

  1. Trigger: Google Forms - New Form Response

    • Select your form
    • Test to get sample data

  2. Action: VerifyForge - Validate Email

    • Email: Map to form's email field
    • Test to see validation results

  3. Filter: Only continue if...

    • Reachability is "safe"

  4. Action: Google Sheets - Create Spreadsheet Row

    • Map form data to sheet columns
    • Add validation status column

Result: Only high-quality, deliverable emails make it to your sheet!
