Overview

Use Email Validation to check a cleaned prospect CSV through Clearout before outreach. The page is scoped to the selected client, previews exactly how many unique valid email addresses will use credits, tracks the asynchronous job, and provides a merged result file with a verdict on every original row.

How to use this page

  1. Select the client and open Email Validation

    Choose the client from the switcher, then open Platform > List Building > Email Validation. Validation jobs, credit counts, and result files stay scoped to that client. If no client is selected, choose one before uploading.

  2. Upload and preview a cleaned CSV

    Drop a CSV into the upload area or click Choose CSV. Files can be up to 15 MB and must contain a header row plus at least one data row. The page detects common email headers, or you can choose the email column manually. Review total rows, unique emails to validate, duplicates skipped, and blank or malformed rows skipped before using credits.

  3. Start Clearout validation

    Click Validate N unique emails after reviewing the credit preview. Only unique, nonblank, correctly shaped email addresses are submitted. The page prevents duplicate charges when the exact file and email column were already submitted for the client within the recent reuse window.

  4. Monitor the job and download results

    Watch Validation history for progress, completion, or failure. A completed job shows Valid, Catch-all, Invalid, and Unknown totals. Click Download results to get the original rows with Clearout Status, Clearout Safe To Send, and Clearout Validated At columns. Completed files also appear in the client Agents Files tab.

Common questions

Upload a CSV no larger than 15 MB with a header row and at least one data row. One job accepts up to 10,000 unique valid email addresses. Export spreadsheet files as CSV first.
Only unique, nonblank, correctly shaped email addresses are submitted. Duplicate addresses, blank cells, and malformed addresses are excluded before the credit preview and submission.
Duplicate addresses reuse one provider verdict. The downloaded result keeps every original row and adds the same Clearout status and safe-to-send result for that address.
Every original row receives Clearout Status, Clearout Safe To Send, and Clearout Validated At. Valid, catch-all, invalid, unknown, missing, and invalid-format values can appear depending on the row and provider result.
Download the result from Validation history. The completed CSV is also delivered to the selected client's Agents Files tab.
The same file, email column, and client were submitted recently. The page reuses the existing job instead of charging Clearout credits again.
