Zapier: Validate Airtable Email
JAVASCRIPT// Zapier Code Step - Validate Airtable Record Email
const response = await fetch('https://api.mailodds.com/v1/validate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: inputData.email // Mapped from Airtable email field
})
});
const result = await response.json();
return {
email: result.email,
status: result.status,
action: result.action,
is_valid: result.action === 'accept',
disposable: result.disposable
};Make: Airtable Scenario
JAVASCRIPT// Make Scenario - Airtable + MailOdds
// 1. Airtable: Watch Records (trigger on new records)
// 2. HTTP Module: POST to https://api.mailodds.com/v1/validate
// Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
// Body: { "email": "{{1.fields.Email}}" }
// 3. Airtable: Update Record
// Field "Validation Status" = {{2.data.status}}
// Field "Email Quality" = {{2.data.action}}Telemetry Export
Track your validation health over time by exporting daily telemetry data to an Airtable base. Use a scheduled Make scenario or n8n workflow to call the telemetry API and write metrics to a dedicated table.
Make: Daily Telemetry to Airtable
JAVASCRIPT// Make Scenario - Telemetry to Airtable
// 1. Schedule: Run daily at 9 AM
// 2. HTTP: GET https://api.mailodds.com/v1/telemetry/summary
// Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
// 3. Airtable: Create Record in "Telemetry" table
// Date: {{formatDate(now; "YYYY-MM-DD")}}
// Total Validations: {{2.totals.validations}}
// Deliverable Rate: {{2.rates.deliverable}}
// Credits Used: {{2.totals.creditsUsed}}Bulk Validation
Validate large Airtable email lists in batch. Extract emails from your base, submit to the bulk API via POST /v1/jobs, and write results back to each record. Requires Growth plan or above.
Zapier: Bulk Validate Airtable Emails
JAVASCRIPT// Zapier: Bulk Validate Airtable Email List
// Step 1: Extract emails from Airtable (via Airtable trigger or search)
// Step 2: POST batch to MailOdds
const response = await fetch('https://api.mailodds.com/v1/jobs', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
emails: inputData.emails, // Array of emails from Airtable
callback_url: 'YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL'
})
});
const job = await response.json();
// job.job_id - poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} for status
// When complete, iterate results and update Airtable records
return { job_id: job.job_id, count: inputData.emails.length };Suppression Check
Before using Airtable emails for campaigns, check each address against your MailOdds suppression list. This prevents sending to previously bounced or complained addresses.
Zapier: Check Suppression Before Campaign
JAVASCRIPT// Zapier Code Step - Check Airtable Email Against Suppression List
const response = await fetch('https://api.mailodds.com/v1/suppression/check', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ email: inputData.email })
});
const result = await response.json();
return { email: inputData.email, suppressed: result.suppressed };Frequently Asked Questions
