How do I verify emails in Make.com?
There is no dedicated Make app for Valid Email Checker, and you do not need one. Make.com ships with a generic HTTP module that can call any REST API, and our verification endpoint is a standard REST call. You point the HTTP module at our API, pass an address, and branch your scenario on the result — verify new sign-ups, clean leads before they hit your CRM, or filter out disposable addresses in real time.
Step 1 — Get an API key
Open the dashboard and go to the Developer page to generate an API key. Copy it somewhere safe — you will paste it into Make as a Bearer token. API access unlocks after your first credit purchase.
Step 2 — Add the HTTP module
- In your scenario, click the + to add a module and search for HTTP. Choose Make a request.
- Set Method to POST.
- Set URL to
https://app.validemailchecker.com/api/verify-single. - Add a header: name
Authorization, valueBearer <API_KEY>(replacing<API_KEY>with your key). You can also create a reusable API Key Auth connection in Make — parameter nameauthorization, Key valueBearer <API_KEY>— so the secret is not stored inline in the module. - Set Body type to Raw, Content type to JSON (application/json), and enter the request body, mapping the address from an earlier module:
{"email":"{{email}}"}. - Run the scenario once. The HTTP module returns the parsed JSON response so downstream modules can reference fields like
statusandis_valid.
POST https://app.validemailchecker.com/api/verify-single
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json
{"email":"user@example.com"}The response includes status (a deliverable address comes back as "safe"), is_valid (boolean), is_disposable, risk_score, and credits_used. Add a Router or Filter after the HTTP module and branch on status — for example, only continue to your "add to CRM" path when status equals safe.
Single vs. bulk
The setup above uses the single endpoint /api/verify-single — real-time, one address per call, ideal for verifying records as they pass through a scenario. That is the right default for most automations. See Make your first API call for the full single-verify reference.
If you need to clean a whole list at once, use the bulk flow instead: POST an array to /api/verify-bulk ({"emails":[...],"name":"..."}), which returns a task_id, then poll GET /api/get-results/{task_id} until the job finishes. In Make, that is two HTTP modules with a short delay or a follow-up scenario between them. See the Bulk endpoint reference for the polling pattern.
Cost
One credit per email verified — the same rate as everywhere else. Using Make.com adds no extra charge; you are simply calling the same API. If a result comes back as Unknown (we could not reach a definitive answer), that credit is automatically refunded, so you only pay for conclusive verifications.
