Q: What the confidence means?

Each time you do a search, we give you a confidence ratio that helps you use reliable data. The color gives you the confidence of the search: ** ${color}<a href="Correct:">#70d098</a>** The email has been correctly verified and it is safe to send with an accuracy of 99%. ** ${color}[#c391f6](Web email:)** The web email has been found. ** ${color}[#f9bf73](Catch all:)** This status results due to an email server restriction that does not allow to fully verify the validity of the email. The domain exists but the specific email address can not be confirmed. ** ${color}<a href="Incorrect:">#f97373</a>** This result indicates the email is not correct. ** ${color}[#949494](Invalid email:)** Sometimes, when you get this code, there is an error with the email syntax, normally a typo.

Question 1

What is a credit?

Accepted Answer

|| A credit is a search inside the tool. Every time you do a search, a credit is deducted from your account.

Yes, we charge 1 credit per search, even though when the email is not found. This is because we apply more than 14 verification processes before offering any result, other competitor tools simply give you a random email permutation without any type of verification.

| We don't charge for repeated leads you searched within the actual month.

Quick explanation on the credit usage of each tool:

Search:

If a name is provided you will spend 1 credit for each search (we automatically verify the searched email).

However if you only provide a domain or company name we will display a batch of maximum 10 emails for 1 credit. If you want to display more it would cost 1 credit for each batch. The emails on will NOT come verified, so you will spend 1 credit for each email verification.

Email verifier:

You will spend 1 credit for each verification.

Social Url Search:

We will try to find the lead profile for free. If we found it, you can generate the email for 1 credit (the email already comes verified).

Prospector:

You can generate the list for FREE. Then you can select the leads you want and generate the emails for 1 credit each (we automatically verify the searched email).

Email Sender:

FREE tool :)

*The number of connected email accounts sending simultaneously are limited according to each plan.

Local Business:

Only when results are shown a

Question 2

How to build up the CSV file for bulk processing?

Accepted Answer

This article pretends to help you undertstanding how the CSV file has to be formatted in order to process it with FindThatLead Bulk tools.

Your CSV file needs, at least, one header and one row. The maximum number of rows allowed per file is 9999.

If you upload a CSV file, we won’t remove any extra columns, except on Domain Search where the tool will generate a new CSV file.

You can upload a file with the columns you want. The names of the headers does not matter.

This is the minimum number of columns your file has to have in order to run each tool:

Lead Search needs 3 columns: first name, last name and domain.
Domain Search needs a column with the domains.
Email Verifier needs a column with the emails to verify.
Social URL Search needs 1 column with Twitter and/or LinkedIn URLs.
Company Search needs a column with the names of the companies.
Enrich needs 1 column with company names.
Blacklist needs 1 column with domains or emails.

If you want to use Lead Search Bulk feature you will need a CSV file with at least, three columns, containing headers. Those columns should be:

Name
Last Name
Domain / Company Name ( We recommend to use always Domain for better results instead of Company Name, but the tool can work with company names as well)

As you can see in the screenshot:

SMTP Host: the smtp host (Ex. → smtp.office365.com)
SMTP Port: the smtp port (Ex. → 587)
