Integrate verification into your website, signup forms, or CRM so addresses are checked the moment they’re entered. This API supports both synchronous and asynchronous calls and returns rich deliverability data.
4. Bouncer Shield
Protect signup forms from invalid, fraudulent, or malicious email entries in real time, improving data quality at capture.
5. Toxicity & risk insights
Score emails on a toxicity scale to identify low-quality, disposable, or risky addresses that might hurt deliverability.

Tools for testing inbox placement, monitoring blocklists, and analysing authentication records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) to ensure emails reach the inbox.
7. Integrations & data enrichment
Connect with your CRM, marketing automation tools, or spreadsheets to automate list cleaning and enrich contact profiles.
How it works (verification process)
UseBouncer verifies an email through several steps:
- syntax checking
- domain and MX record validation
- SMTP handshake with mail server
- risk assessment and quality scoring
Results can be delivered as deliverable, undeliverable, risky, or unknown, with reasons explaining each status.
