We’re happy to introduce our initial iteration of a Clay integration so you can surface invalid emails and spam traps at the moment you source them in Clay sheets. This means you’ll be able to avoid the contacts that land you in spam folders, have better verification, and drive more revenue.
Remember this is in beta right now, so we’re looking for your feedback, and the upcoming versions we ship will work differently.
Let’s get started…
You can bring this template into your own sheet, then enter the API key you are issued after you've requested one from support@allegrow.co. Or build the column using these steps:
Step 1: Add an enrichment to your desired Clay sheet:
Step 2: Search for then Select HTTP API (if you don’t have a Clay Explorer plan version, let us know at support@allegrow.co):
Step 3: Set up the following inputs on Column Mapping
Method: POST
Body {
"email": "/{THE_COLUMN_YOU_HAVE_EMAILS_IN}"
}
Add Header key: x-api-key
Add value to x-api-key: {YOUR_API_KEY} *We’ll issue this to you directly on request.
Step 4: Add the following values to the ‘Custom rate limit’ section
Request Limit: 5
Duration (in ms): 1000
Step 5: Once you’ve added the Allegrow HTTP endpoint as a column, you can select the option to run for a limited number of rows or all rows. Then you’ll be able to see 200 responses along with the option to have risk analysis results added as a separate column:
You’ll see results in the corresponding row, find which contacts are safe vs risky spam traps and invalid contacts.
In this example, you can see a ‘dead_email’ was found, which is typically an invalid contact on a catch-all server, which hurts your sender reputation even though it often won’t produce a bounce. Our full status dictionary is available here.
