Overview

The node provides a utility to validate email addresses for both format correctness and deliverability. It is part of a broader toolbox of no-code utilities designed to simplify common tasks. This specific operation, "Validate Email" under the "Business" resource, is useful when you need to ensure that an email address entered by a user or imported from a data source is valid and can receive emails. Practical examples include validating customer contact information before sending newsletters, verifying user sign-up emails, or cleaning mailing lists.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email Address The email address to validate for correct format and deliverability (e.g., user@example.com)

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the results of the email validation. This typically includes whether the email format is valid, if the email domain exists, and if the mailbox is reachable or deliverable. The exact structure is not detailed in the source but generally includes fields indicating validation status and possibly error messages or suggestions.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate requests to the external 0CodeKit service.
  • The node sends a POST request to the endpoint /business/validateemail with the email address in the request body.
  • The base URL for the API is https://prod.0codekit.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an improperly formatted email string may result in validation errors.
    • Network connectivity issues could prevent reaching the external API.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or missing credentials; verify API key setup.
    • Validation errors might specify that the email format is incorrect or the domain is unreachable.
    • Timeout or network errors suggest checking internet connection or API availability.
