Zapier Integration

CampaignKit integrates with Zapier to automate email validation workflows across thousands of apps. Connect CampaignKit with your favorite tools to validate emails automatically whenever they’re collected or updated.

How It Works

The Zapier integration allows you to:

• Automate validation - Validate emails automatically when they’re added to any connected app
• Connect 7,000+ apps - Works with Gmail, Google Sheets, Airtable, Salesforce, and thousands more
• Custom workflows - Build multi-step Zaps that validate emails and route them based on results
• Real-time verification - Validate emails as they’re collected, before they enter your database
• No coding required - Set up automations with Zapier’s visual workflow builder

CampaignKit’s Zapier integration uses our validation API to verify email addresses in your automated workflows.

What You Can Build

Here are some popular use cases for the CampaignKit Zapier integration:

Form Validation

Validate emails from Typeform, Google Forms, or Gravity Forms before adding them to your email list or CRM.

Spreadsheet Cleaning

Automatically validate emails when they’re added to Google Sheets or Airtable, with validation results saved in adjacent columns.

CRM Enhancement

Validate new leads in Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive before your sales team starts outreach.

E-commerce Protection

Validate customer emails from Shopify or WooCommerce orders to reduce delivery issues and fraud.

Lead Qualification

Filter out invalid emails from lead capture forms before they reach your marketing automation platform.

Validation Results

When you validate an email through Zapier, CampaignKit returns:

• Status - valid, invalid, or risky
• Classification - Detailed reason (catch-all, disposable, role-based, spam trap, etc.)
• Score - Quality score from 0-100
• Deliverable - Boolean indicating if the email is safe to send to

Use these results in your Zap to:

• Filter out invalid emails before they’re saved
• Route risky emails to a separate list for manual review
• Tag or classify contacts based on email quality
• Trigger different actions based on validation status

Setup Process

Step 1: Get Your API Key

In CampaignKit, navigate to API Settings to generate your API key. Keep this key secure—you’ll need it to connect Zapier.

Step 2: Create a New Zap

In Zapier, click Create Zap and choose the trigger app where emails are collected (e.g., Google Forms, Typeform, or any app with email inputs).

Step 3: Add CampaignKit Action

After your trigger, add a new action step:

1. Search for CampaignKit in the action apps
2. Select Validate Email as the action event
3. Click Continue to proceed

Step 4: Connect Your Account

When prompted, enter your CampaignKit API key to connect your account. Zapier will securely store this credential for all future Zaps.

Step 5: Configure Validation

Map the email field from your trigger to the Email Address field in CampaignKit:

1. Click the Email Address field
2. Select the email field from your trigger data
3. Test the action to verify the connection

Step 6: Use Validation Results

Add additional actions based on the validation results:

• Filter by Status - Use Zapier’s Filter step to only process valid emails
• Branch by Classification - Use Paths to handle valid, invalid, and risky emails differently
• Store Results - Save validation data to your CRM or database
• Notify Team - Send alerts when invalid emails are detected

Example Workflows

Example 1: Google Forms to Mailchimp

Trigger: New Google Forms submission Action 1: Validate email with CampaignKit Filter: Only continue if status is “valid” Action 2: Add subscriber to Mailchimp

This ensures only valid emails are added to your Mailchimp audience.

Example 2: Typeform to Airtable with Validation

Trigger: New Typeform submission Action 1: Validate email with CampaignKit Action 2: Create Airtable record with validation status and score

All form submissions are saved in Airtable with email quality data for future filtering.

Example 3: Shopify Order Email Validation

Trigger: New Shopify order Action 1: Validate customer email with CampaignKit Filter: Only continue if status is “invalid” or “risky” Action 2: Send Slack notification to customer service team

Your team gets alerted when suspicious orders with invalid emails are placed.

Best Practices

Validate Early

Add CampaignKit validation as the first action after your trigger to prevent bad data from propagating through your workflow.

Use Filters Wisely

Combine Zapier’s Filter step with validation results to create clean, targeted workflows that only process high-quality leads.

Store Validation Data

Save the full validation response (status, classification, score) to help with future segmentation and analysis.

Handle Risky Emails

Create separate workflows or paths for risky emails—they might be legitimate but need manual review before adding to your main lists.

Monitor Usage

Check your CampaignKit dashboard regularly to monitor validation credits and ensure you’re not running low during critical campaigns.

Privacy & Data

CampaignKit follows strict data protection principles:

• API Authentication - Uses secure API key authentication
• No data storage - Emails are validated in real-time and not stored beyond necessary processing
• GDPR compliant - All processing follows GDPR requirements
• Minimal data transfer - Only email addresses are sent to CampaignKit for validation

Troubleshooting

Zap Not Finding CampaignKit

Make sure you’re searching for “CampaignKit” (one word) in the Zapier app directory. If you still can’t find it, contact our support team.

Invalid API Key Error

Double-check that you’ve copied the full API key from your CampaignKit API Settings. API keys are case-sensitive.

Validation Credits Running Low

Monitor your validation usage in the CampaignKit dashboard. You can purchase additional validations at any time in the Plans section.
