Example
[Starter] → [Email Bison: Find Email] → [Email Bison: Verify Email] → [Agent: draft outreach]Pass {{EMAILBISON_API_KEY}} as the API Key in both blocks. Supply {{starter.firstName}}, {{starter.lastName}}, and {{starter.domain}} to the Find Email block, then pipe {{emailBison.email}} into the Verify Email block's email field. The Agent receives the verified address and can draft a personalised outreach message only when {{emailBison.isValid}} is true.
Tips
- Store your API key as a secret. Reference it as
{{EMAILBISON_API_KEY}}in every block rather than pasting it directly into the workflow. - Always verify after finding. Chain a Verify Email block after Find Email to filter out addresses that score low or return a non-
validstatus before sending. - Use Bulk Find for lists. When you have a CSV or JSON array of contacts upstream, build the
peopleJSON with an Agent block and pass it to Bulk Find instead of looping over individual Find Email calls — it is far faster and uses fewer API credits. - Domain Search for prospecting. Use Domain Search to enumerate contacts at a target company, then feed the
emailsarray into a Loop block to verify and qualify each one individually. - Check
scorebefore acting. Both Find Email and Verify Email return an optionalscore. Filter on high-confidence results (e.g. score above 80) to keep bounce rates low in downstream email steps.
