Contact Qualification API

Contact Qualification API

Evaluates a contact's viability by confirming the identity of the name associated with a phone number and measuring the level of contactability.

Key Features:

  • Indicates whether the provided name matches what is on record for the phone owner.
  • Measures the activity of the phone number over recent months to determine whether it is connected and in regular use.
  • Assesses contactability ranging from very high to very low, by considering the result of name matching, the type of phone line and its carrier, and the activity status of the phone number.
  • The contact is qualified if the contactability level is high or very high.

Benefits:

  • Maximize marketing efforts by pursuing all highly contactable prospects, even if the names don’t align.  In many cases the name doesn’t match simply because of shared phone plans.
  • Prioritize records based on how likely they are to be contactable.
  • Track essential data points, such as the name matching status, phone activity score, and contactability level, to determine which data sources are producing the highest quality prospects.

    • Disposable Emails
    • Spam Traps
    • Complainers
    • Bots
    • Seed Accounts
    • ... and more

Benefits:

  • Identifying and avoiding spam traps and complainers helps maintain a good sender reputation, which is crucial for ensuring that emails are not marked as spam by email service providers.
  • By ensuring that emails are sent only to valid and active accounts, resources such as time, bandwidth, and money are used more efficiently, avoiding waste on undeliverable or irrelevant contacts.
Phone Validation API

Phone Validation API

Determines the connectivity of a phone number with a high degree of accuracy and returns the line type to identify mobile, landline or VOIP numbers.

Key Features:

  • Conducts live validation through telecommunications databases and directly queries the phone network switches to ensure the number is active and connected.
  • Returns line type (mobile, landline or VOIP) allowing businesses to tailor their communication strategies.
  • If the status of the number cannot be confirmed for any reason, it will be identified as connected, so viable data is never discarded.

Benefits:

  • Live validation ensures that the information is current. This is particularly important in a dynamic environment where phone statuses can change frequently.
  • By ensuring that phone numbers are active and connected, businesses can avoid wasting resources on contacting numbers that are no longer in service or are incorrect.
Phone Activity API

Phone Activity API

  • While it's more cost-effective than live connection verification, it maintains a dependable accuracy with minimal false positives.

Benefits:

  • Offers a practical solution for organizations looking to balance budget constraints with the need for reliable results, particularly in high volume.
