Mostly. Fast actions fill the cell in a few seconds. Long-running ones run in the background and write back to the row when they finish, so you can close the tab.

Do I get charged on failure?

No. A failed lookup costs zero credits. When a provider misses or times out, the waterfall moves to the next one and you only pay for the match you actually got.

Do I have to run it row by row?

No. Run it on one cell, on a selection, on the whole table, or on a schedule. Same action either way.

What CRMs can I push results to?

HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and GoHighLevel are bidirectional. Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, HeyReach, Apollo Sequences, and Reply.io for outbound.

When to use this.

The "Check Email Service Provider" action, also known as betterenrich-check-esp, is designed to identify the Email Service Provider (ESP) associated with a given email address, such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo. This action requires a single input parameter, websiteOrEmail, which is a text field representing the email address to be analyzed. Upon execution, the action returns two output fields: esp, which indicates the identified Email Service Provider, and message, providing additional context or information regarding the result. This action falls under the enrichment category and is particularly useful for businesses and developers looking to enhance their data quality, improve email marketing strategies, or validate user registrations by accurately determining the ESP for email addresses. By leveraging this functionality, organizations can tailor their communications and ensure better deliverability rates.
