Welcome - Introduce Yourself

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 15:38:51 GMT

Hello all,

I would like to welcome you all to the BriteVerify forum on the Validity Customer Community. If you have not seen it already, our employees are also making their introductory posts here.

We hope that you enjoy your visit and are able to learn more from one another and can share your experiences with BriteVerify.

If you would please take a quick moment to introduce who you are, maybe what your role is, how long you have been using our tool(s), and any other information that you would like to share, that will be a great way for us to better get to know one another. Don't be shy, as we call all learn from one another and we all play a role in making the Community be a success.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Scootch,

Excited to be here!
I just love Demand Tools... it's my daily go to when I have a (not so) crazy idea on how to clean up and merge.
I am a Chaos Coordinator aka Sr Manager Sales Operations and I've been using DT for 3+ years now
We also got BriteVerify but this is pending implementation so stay tuned...

Hi Scooch, We've been using BriteVerify for nearly 10 years (before it was BriteVerify). We use it primarily for email verification and has been a key part in helping us maintain deliverability as we migrate older data from acquisitions and legacy CRMs. I am responsible for our Acoustic implementation and managing/training/supporting all users (over 75 globally) including developing custom solutions relating to specific business needs.

Looking forward to being a part of the community.
Micah

Hi @micah any ideas/recommendations as we start our journey with BriteVerify?
Any option for email verification to apply on newly created records and now what's already in SF?

Best regards,
Georgina

Hi Georgina,

If you're talking about new leads coming from something like a webform, I would suggest looking into the APIs to do a verification before the webform is submitted. The response is typically very quick, and you could choose to hold off on allowing the form to be submitted if the email address comes back invalid. Otherwise, you could do a manual verification (there's an API for that as well) if a sales manager is manually adding a lead into SF (like from a phone call or tradeshow).

As for verifying what's already in SF, I would recommend doing an export that includes the email address and whatever the primary key is for the record. Do your bulk verification in BV and then reimport back into SF. Having the primary key will allow you to match the correct record incase you have duplicates in the system with the same email.

Hope that helps!
Micah

Hi @micah,

I don't want to verify what's already in SF.

I want to verify email addresses on all leads where creation date >= 2/1/2023.
Makes sense?

Georgina

Ah yes, you may want to work with your SF team to put in place a process that uses the BV APIs that can then return the value and save it to a field on the record. I'm not familiar with SF myself (we use MS Dynamics 365).

@micah thank you for the feeback!
We use SF and we'll manage this, the BV API is what I was missing.

Happy to be a part of this new community. I've been a Salesforce Administrator since 2004 and have been using DemandTools for almost as long, for many different employers. Still not used to the new V version so I find myself going back to the old DemandTools more often than not but I will get there eventually.

Hi @SummerinGreece !

I wanted to point out that if these leads are in Salesforce (as leads) you can also use DemandTools V (DTV)'s Verify module to validate and then stamp the records with the status and date/time.

Other ways to use BriteVerify:

Real-time API (which Micah mentioned)
Bulk API
File Upload (click here)
Validity Verify (Salesforce Managed Package)
DemandTools V (DTV)'s Verify Module

Hope this helps!

Anthony

@Justin I so agree with you on the V version...
I also use the old DemandTools version.
