Automate Email Validation and Update Records in Airtable
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automates the crucial task of validating email addresses stored in your Airtable bases. It systematically checks each email for deliverability using Mailcheck and then updates the corresponding Airtable record with the validation status, ensuring your data remains clean and actionable.
About This Workflow
Maintaining a clean and accurate email list is paramount for effective marketing and sales operations. This n8n workflow provides a seamless solution to automate email validation directly within your Airtable base. It fetches email addresses from a specified Airtable table, processes them through Mailcheck for real-time validation (checking for MX records), and then updates the original Airtable records with a 'Valid' status. This not only saves significant manual effort but also improves email deliverability, reduces bounce rates, and ensures that your outreach efforts target genuine leads, leading to higher engagement and better campaign performance.
Key Features
- Automated Email Extraction: Automatically pull email addresses from any specified Airtable table.
- Real-time Email Validation: Utilize Mailcheck to verify email addresses, checking for MX records and deliverability.
- Direct Airtable Updates: Seamlessly update the original Airtable records with a 'Valid' (true/false) status.
- Data Hygiene Assurance: Ensure your email lists are consistently clean and free of invalid addresses.
- Scalable & Efficient: Process large volumes of email addresses efficiently without manual intervention.
How To Use
- Airtable (List) Node:
- Connect your Airtable credentials.

Application(Base) andTable(e.g., "Table 1") where your emails are stored. - Ensure your table contains an 'Email' field.
- Mailcheck Node:
- Connect your Mailcheck API credentials.
- The
Emailparameter should automatically map to={{$json["fields"]["Email"]}}from the previous Airtable node.
- Set Node:
- This node is pre-configured to extract the original Airtable

- Airtable (Update) Node:
- Connect your Airtable credentials again (or use the same ones as the first Airtable node).
- The
ApplicationandTableparameters should match your initial Airtable node. - Ensure the
