What it does when it runs

Verify every email with MillionVerifier, send catch-all and unknown results to BounceBan, and output only safe-to-send emails in verified_leads.csv.

Automated analysis of the skill and the 3 files bundled beside it. A skill’s own description is written to be selected by an agent, so it describes the job and not the dependencies.

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.

Before you install: this skill will not complete its job on a bare agent. It needs BOUNCEBAN_API_KEY, MILLIONVERIFIER_API_KEY, which you have to obtain separately.

06 Email verification

Purpose

Protect the new inboxes. Bounces burn domain reputation fast, so only emails that pass verification move on.

Inputs

  • leads_with_email.csv from skill 05.

Outputs

  • verified_leads.csv: safe-to-send rows only, plus verify_mv, verify_bb, verify_reason.
  • rejected_emails.csv: everything else, with the reason.

Duplicate emails are removed before any credit is spent.

Calls

  • MillionVerifier: GET https://api.millionverifier.com/api/v3/?api=KEY&email=...&timeout=10
  • BounceBan: GET https://api-waterfall.bounceban.com/v1/verify/single?email=...&mode=... with header Authorization: KEY. A 408 means it is still verifying; the script re-sends the same request, which is free within 30 minutes.

Steps (agent run instructions)

  1. Count first:
    python 06-email-verification/scripts/verify_emails.py --leads leads_with_email.csv --dry-run
    
  2. Try the logic for free with MillionVerifier's demo keys (fake results, no credits):
    MILLIONVERIFIER_API_KEY=API_KEY_FOR_OK python 06-email-verification/scripts/verify_emails.py --leads 05-email-waterfall/examples/leads_with_email.csv --out /tmp/v.csv
    
  3. Run for real:
    python 06-email-verification/scripts/verify_emails.py --leads leads_with_email.csv
    
  4. Report safe vs rejected counts and the top rejection reasons.

Handoff

verified_leads.csv -> 07-copy-generator. Skill 11 re-checks that every lead in the campaign is in this file.

Files bundled with it

These load only when the skill asks for them, so they cost nothing until it runs.
