Guide
Verify your Instantly leads
Export your campaign leads from Instantly, verify them in SimpleCold, and upload the clean list back. There is no direct connection yet; this takes a few steps.
Step by step
4 steps from export to import
Follow these in order.
- 01
Export from Instantly
Open the campaign, go to its Leads tab, select the leads (or all of them) and click Download. You can also export from Leads: select, then Row actions → Download selected.
- 02
Upload to SimpleCold
Upload the CSV under New verification. We find the email column by its header (email, e-mail, email address, emails or mail) and remove duplicate addresses, which are not charged.
- 03
Download and filter the results
Choose Valid only for Deliverable rows, or Full list and filter the Result column to keep Deliverable (and the risky rows you want).
- 04
Upload the clean list
Upload the clean CSV to a new campaign (Leads → Upload CSV) and map the email column to Email. Re-uploading to the same campaign skips leads that already exist, so delete the bad leads there instead.
Which rows to keep
What to do with each result
Every row has a reason, so you can decide row by row.
Import
Result is Deliverable: the mail server confirmed the mailbox. Safe to send.
Review
Result is Risky: catch-all domain, role address, throwaway inbox, or a server that would not confirm. Reason says which. Drop throwaway inboxes; keep the rest only if you trust the source.
Leave out
Result is Undeliverable: the address will bounce. If Suggestion has a fix (a typo), correct it and verify again.
Columns
What the file contains when it comes back
Every original column is kept, with its header exactly as it was. These are added at the end. Map the ones you want in Instantly and skip the rest.
| Column | What it holds | In Instantly |
|---|---|---|
| Result | Deliverable, Risky or Undeliverable | Filter on it before import; keep as a custom field if you like |
| Reason | The plain reason, e.g. The domain accepts mail for any address, so this mailbox can't be confirmed. | Optional custom field |
| Reason code | The reason code: mailbox_found, accept_all, role_address, disposable, mailbox_not_found… | Usually skip |
| Suggestion | A typo fix such as [email protected], else empty | Optional custom field |
| Retry later | Yes when a later check may give a different answer, else No | Usually skip |
| Domain, Mail server country, Website country, Website language | The domain, server and site country, site language | Usually skip |
Instantly asks for headers that start with a capital letter and are at most 20 characters, with up to 50 variables per upload. Rename the columns you keep (Reason code to ReasonCode, for example) and set the rest to Do Not Import.
