Verify your Drip export before you send

1. Export the CSV from Drip

1. In Drip, go to People > Active.
2. Apply a filter if you want a subset, or leave it blank to export everyone.
3. Use the Actions menu to export the people to CSV, and confirm.
4. Download the file from the link Drip emails to the address in your user settings.

A saved segment can be exported the same way after you open it.

2. Upload it to SimpleVerifier

Sign in, upload the CSV as it came out of Drip and every address gets a live mailbox check with catch-all detection. The email column is found automatically.

3. Import the clean file back

You get three files: valid, risky and invalid, each with every column from the original export. Import the valid file back into Drip or your sending tool, and keep risky addresses (usually catch-all domains) out of cold sends.

Common questions

How do I export my people from Drip?

In Drip, go to People > Active. Apply a filter if you want a subset, or leave it blank to export everyone. Use the Actions menu to export the people to CSV, and confirm. Download the file from the link Drip emails to the address in your user settings. A saved segment can be exported the same way after you open it.

Do I need to change the Drip CSV before uploading it?

No. The email column is found by its header or its contents, so the Drip export works as it is. Every other column is kept, and the cleaned files come back with your original columns so you can import them straight back into Drip.

Why verify a list that came from Drip?

Subscribers who signed up years ago move jobs, abandon inboxes or typed their address wrong. Every send to a dead address in Drip is a bounce on your sender reputation, and many ESPs bill by contact count, so removing dead addresses also lowers the bill.

How much does it cost?

Verification is $29.99 a month with no limit on verifications, for files up to 100,000 rows. See the pricing page for the plans.
