Overview
This node verifies the validity of an email address by querying an external email verification service. It is useful in scenarios where you want to ensure that email addresses collected from users or databases are valid and deliverable before sending emails, reducing bounce rates and improving sender reputation.
For example, before adding a new subscriber to a mailing list, this node can check if the provided email is deliverable. Another use case is cleaning up existing contact lists by verifying each email's status.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the external email verification service.
- Makes HTTP GET requests to
https://api.emailable.com/v1/verifywith the email and API key as query parameters. - The user must configure the node with a valid API key credential for the email verification service.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing API key: If the API key credential is not set or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate with the external service. Ensure the API key is correctly configured.
- Network issues: Failure to reach the external API endpoint may cause errors. Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
- Rate limiting: The external service might limit the number of requests per time period. If rate limits are exceeded, the node may return errors or incomplete results.
- Invalid email format: Providing improperly formatted email addresses may lead to unexpected results or errors from the API.
