FAQ
Questions about Validate Email.
What does the Validate Email action do in ZeroBounce?
Validates an email address for deliverability via ZeroBounce, returning status (valid/invalid/catch-all/spamtrap/abuse), sub-status, and free-mail/role flags. Gate signups on this to keep bounce rates low.
What inputs does Validate Email require?
Required: Email. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if ZeroBounce returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Validate Email support batch operations?
Yes. Run Validate Email inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles ZeroBounce's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
