Email List Cleaning – Step by Step Guide

The Email List Cleaning module in SAAS First helps you to clean up your email lists. By verifying, enriching and exporting high-quality contact lists, you can be sure that your outreach will bring in the best results. Here’s how it works:


Step 1: Upload Your Email List

  • Drag and drop or select your file (CSV format recommended).

  • Your data is automatically detected and prepared.

  • Use First Row as Header: Toggle this to map fields automatically.


Step 2: Deep Email Verification

  • Email statuses are verified using MillionVerifier. Alternatively, you can integrate other verification services, such as ZeroBounce, NeverBounce or BounceBan.

  • Each email receives a quality rating (e.g., good, risky) and result label (e.g., ok, unknown).

  • Duplicate entries are removed.


Step 3: Enrichment (you can skip this step)

  • Optionally add more details to leads such as:

    • Company information

    • Connection (URLs, phone numbers)

    • Operational (Industries, SEO, keywords)

    • Location

    • Revenue and Founding

    • Personal Information

    • Social Media

    • Job position

      etc.

    This step is powered by Apollo. If you have not connected Apollo yet, please find more information here.


Step 4: Export - Choose how you want your file exported

  • Export your cleaned list as a CSV file.

  • This step can be automated with CRM systems and outreach platforms integrations (e.g. Instantly, as shown below).



    After this initial setup, click on the "Run" button, and wait for the result. Depending on the size of your file, this can take up to a several minutes.

    If you wish to discard your file and quit the process, you may use the "Delete" button.



Step 5: Download

After the verification process finished running, you may download your file from the main Lead to Deal screen where you can view all your lead lists.


That's all! Your clean and tidy list is now ready to use in your lead generation tool.
