1. How does it work?

Each time you create a campaign and click 'Send', your prospects’ email addresses will be verified with Bouncer just before the emails are sent out. If Bouncer identifies the email address as unknown, the prospect will be marked as "INVALID". However, email addresses that have not been determined to be incorrect, will be marked as "ACTIVE".

Please mind that INVALID is a local status, which means that it can be found only in a campaign and thus exported from there. Learn more about statuses which you can find in Woodpecker »

Why are my emails assigned status 'INVALID'?

Bouncer verifies the email addresses of your prospects before sending emails to them. When you hit the "Send" button, your prospects are put in the queue and then verified each time Woodpecker is about to send a message to a particular contact.

2. How do I know which email addresses have been marked as 'INVALID'?

  1. Open your campaign.

  2. Have a look at your STATS.

  3. Click INVALID to see all your prospects who couldn't be verified.

Exporting prospects with status INVALID

  3. Checkmark contacts that you want to export.

  4. Choose the option 'Select all... prospects' if you wish to download the whole list.

  5. Click the 'Actions' tab → 'Export as .csv'.

3. How can I check if the integration is working?

Woodpecker verifies your emails each time you import new prospects and hit the 'Send' button. Unverifiable prospects will be assigned the status 'Invalid' and can be seen as such in your statistics.
