How to upload and verify leads

Before launching your campaigns on Mails.ai, you’d want to ensure that all your leads are verified and Valid. A high bounce rate could tarnish your sender reputation, largely due to emails being hard bounced and permanently undelivered if they’re sent to non-existent addresses. To avoid compromising your sender reputation due to poor email deliverability, it’s essential to remove these addresses from your list.

Fortunately, Mails.ai comes with a built-in email verifier to streamline this process for you. Here’s how to use it:
