What is Bulk Contact Validation?
Bulk contact validation in UpLead allows you to verify multiple contacts at once after performing a search. Validating contacts ensures you only reach out to those with valid email addresses, thereby improving the effectiveness of your email campaigns. This feature is crucial to maintain a good sender reputation and avoid high bounce rates.
How to Validate Multiple Contacts at Once
Perform a Contact Search:
Start by conducting a contact search in UpLead. You can search for contacts using various filters like industry, location, job title, etc.
Select Multiple Contacts:
Once the search results appear, select the contacts you want to validate. You can either select individual contacts or select all by ticking the box at the top of the list.
Click the Download Button:
After selecting your contacts, click the "Download" button located in the top-right corner.
Choose the Download Type:
When you click "Download", you’ll be prompted with different download options:
Specific # of leads: Enter a specific number of leads to download.
Selected leads: Download only the selected contacts.
All leads: Download all contacts from your search results.
After choosing, click the "Verify" button, which will trigger the verification process for the selected contacts.
Select Your Preferred Verification Type:
You will be prompted to choose the verification type if no default preference is set. The options include:
Valid Only: Only contacts with valid emails will be downloaded.
Valid and Accept All: Contacts with valid and accept-all emails will be downloaded.
All Available Emails: All contacts will be downloaded, and invalid emails will remain blank.
Download Valid Emails:
After selecting your verification type, click "Download Valid Emails" to start the download. Only the valid email addresses will be included in the download, ensuring you only work with verified contacts.
Alternative Method: Using Contact Lists
Alternatively, you can add contacts to a contact list for later validation and downloading:
Add Contacts to a List:
After performing your contact search, click "+ Add to My Lists" and choose or create a new list to add selected contacts.
Download the List:
Navigate to "My Lists" and select the list you created. From here, you can download the entire list or part of it, depending on your needs.
