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?
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.
