When to use this.
The "Identify Email Type" action is a powerful utility designed to classify email addresses into categories such as personal, business, educational, or freemail, while also extracting the provider domain. It takes a single input parameter, the email address (text), which is analyzed to determine its type. The action outputs a range of data fields, including the email address (email), username (id), domain (companyDomain), email provider (companyName), and various boolean indicators that specify if the email belongs to popular providers like Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud, ProtonMail, Yahoo, or Yandex. Additionally, it assesses whether the email is likely a company or education email. This action is particularly useful for data enrichment in customer relationship management (CRM) systems, marketing automation, and user verification processes, enabling businesses to enhance their user profiles and tailor communications effectively.

FAQ.
Is this real-time?
Yes. Synchronous actions return in ~1–4 s. Long-running work uses async polling (see status 504 → switch to async).
Do I get charged on failure?
No. Verified failures cost zero credits. Provider miss / 5xx / timeout cascade to the next provider in the waterfall when applicable.
Does it work with Claude / Cursor via MCP?
Yes. Add the texau MCP server to your client config, then call `texau__texau-...` directly.
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.
