Email Validation for FluentCRM

Enhanced email validation for FluentCRM.

Use CampaignKit's WordPress plugin to validate and tag your new contacts with invalid email addresses in FluentCRM.

The plugin uses CampaignKit's Email Validation API to perform the following validations:

  • Domain checks - is the email domain available and accepts email traffic
  • Mailbox deliverability checks - does the target domain accepts emails for the given mailbox
  • Catch-all email address detection
  • Disposable email address detection

This works for all contacts that you add manually or import using the import function.
