Outcome. Contacts with a likely misspelled email domain, such as "gmial.com" or "yahooo.com", get flagged with a suggested correction, instead of bouncing silently on the first send and never being noticed until a campaign report shows a dead address.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it right after contact creation or an email edit, catching typos before the first nurture email or sales outreach goes out and bounces.
  • UseUse it as a flag-and-suggest tool, not an auto-correct. Changing someone's actual email address without confirmation risks sending to the wrong person entirely if the "typo" was actually correct and unusual.
  • SkipDo not use it expecting full email validation, syntax, mailbox existence, or disposable-address detection. This fiche only checks the domain against a fixed list of common near-miss misspellings of major providers.
  • SkipDo not use it on a portal where most contacts use varied, unpredictable business domains; the fixed-typo-list approach only pays off for the handful of very common consumer domains people mistype often.
