Overview
This node integrates with the Bouncer API to validate email addresses. It is designed to check if a given email is valid and deliverable, helping users maintain clean and accurate email lists. Common use cases include verifying user sign-ups, cleaning marketing contact lists, or validating emails before sending campaigns to reduce bounce rates.
For example, you can input an email address, and the node will return validation results indicating whether the email is valid, risky, or invalid according to Bouncer's verification service.
