Brevo email verification options

If you’re using mailfloss for Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) email verification, you have five options at your disposal.

Before explaining the five options, make sure you have properly connected Brevo to mailfloss. You only need to do this once and from then on mailfloss will be able to automatically perform email verifications for the connected account.

Here’s a screenshot of the five options you have with Brevo email validation:

The first option “Manually decide action on invalid emails” will display emails deemed invalid so you can decide an action on them, like so:

With manual mode set, you can later decide to delete, unsubscribe, ignore, or report the status as incorrect for all contacts mailfloss determined as invalid.

The second option, “Auto-unsubscribe invalid emails”, will unsubscribe the contact from Brevo and remove the contact from the lists it belongs to. This action is irreversible.

The third option, “Auto-delete invalid emails”, is also irreversible. Once deleted, the contact is gone from the lists it belongs to inside Brevo.

The fourth option is a little more advanced and intended for advanced users. It will update custom fields inside of Brevo, which you can use to sync with your other databases and CRMs.

The final option is “do nothing”. Basically, all this option does is send you an email report of the latest floss session, but doesn’t actually change anything inside of Brevo or mailfloss. This is most like boring, traditional email validation services, but is useful if you just want a report of the email verification statuses determined by mailfloss for the connected Brevo account and nothing more.
