Email Validation for Zoho CRM

• ✓ Reduce clutter in your CRM modules
• ✓ Maintain clean data across all Zoho apps

How to Validate Zoho Emails

1. Step 1: Export contacts from Zoho CRM module as CSV with custom fields
2. Step 2: Validate the contact list using a bulk email verification service
3. Step 3: Update Zoho CRM records with validation flags via API or import
4. Step 4: Create a workflow rule to prevent invalid emails from being created

API Integration

Integrate email validation directly into your Zoho workflow:

// Zoho CRM API - Update contacts after validation
const axios = require("axios");

const BASE_URL = "https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2";
const ACCESS_TOKEN = process.env.ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN;

const headers = {
  Authorization: `Zoho-oauthtoken ${ACCESS_TOKEN}`,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Get contacts
const { data } = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/Contacts`, { headers });

// Batch update invalid contacts
const invalidUpdates = data.data
  .filter((c) => invalidEmails.includes(c.Email))
  .map((c) => ({
    id: c.id,
    Description: "Invalid email - needs update",
  }));

await axios.put(
  `${BASE_URL}/Contacts`,
  { data: invalidUpdates },
  { headers }
);
