Zapier verify-before-send: PAYG email verification without a monthly seat

Outbound teams still pay monthly seats for email verification — even on quiet weeks. Pay-as-you-go credits flip that: you only burn cost when a list actually needs cleaning.

The Zapier-shaped problem

A typical GTM Zap looks like:

  1. Form / Sheet / HubSpot trigger
  2. Enrichment
  3. Push to Instantly, Smartlead, Salesforge, or CRM

Step 3 is where undeliverables become hard bounces. Insert a verify gate before the sequencer or CRM write.

Minimal Webhooks by Zapier step

GET https://verifly.email/api/v1/verify?email={{email}}
Authorization: Bearer vf_your_api_key
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Filter / Paths: continue only when result is deliverable (policy-filter risky/catch-all however you like).

Batch sketch (Code by Zapier):

const emails = inputData.emails.split(",");
const res = await fetch("https://verifly.email/api/v1/verify/batch", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.VERIFLY_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ emails }),
});
return await res.json();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why PAYG beats seats for Zaps

Zaps fire irregularly. A monthly verifier seat bills idle weeks. Prepaid credits that never expire only move when the Zap verifies.
