Validate and score email addresses with ZeroBounce AI

ZeroBounce Email Validation and Scoring

This template uses the [ZeroBounce](https://www.zerobounce.net) node to validate and score email addresses. It is designed to first check if an email is deliverable and then uses A.I. Scoring to assess the sender's deliverability confidence.

This is an example template to demonstrate ways to use the ZeroBounce node and how to manipulate the data with core n8n nodes.

A ZeroBounce API key is needed to use this template. Generate one [here](https://www.zerobounce.net/members/API).


1. Email Validation The Validate email node sends the email address to the ZeroBounce API to determine its status (e.g., 'valid', 'invalid', 'spam trap'). Function: Checks the email address against ZeroBounce's Email Validation API

2. A.I. Scoring For emails confirmed as valid, the workflow proceeds to the Score email node. Function: Applies ZeroBounce's proprietary A.I. model to assess the quality of the email, returning a numerical score (0 to 10).

3. Output The workflow concludes with the Filter by score Switch Node, which uses the ZeroBounce score to categorize the email into three confidence tiers: High Score: Indicates high confidence in deliverability and is ready for immediate campaigns. Medium Score: Suggests moderate risk; these might be suitable for re-engagement or specialized campaigns. Low Score: Indicates high risk, even if the status was technically valid. These should be suppressed to protect sender reputation.
