Lead lists from multiple sources are full of duplicates, inconsistent formatting, and dead email domains. Cleaning them by hand in spreadsheets is slow and error-prone. Sales ops teams need a repeatable way to dedupe, normalize, and MX-validate a list before it hits the CRM.
What you get
A cleaned list as JSON: de-duplicated by your chosen key, normalized fields (casing, whitespace, domains), and an MX-validity flag per email so dead domains are caught before send.
Sample input
{
"leads": [
{
"email": "Jane@ACME.com",
"company": "Acme Inc"
}
],
"dedupeBy": "email",
"verifyMx": true
}Sample output
{
"email": "jane@acme.com",
"company": "Acme Inc",
"mxValid": true,
"duplicate": false

FAQ
What does it dedupe on?
Your chosen key — email or domain — with normalization applied first so near-duplicates collapse.
Does it check if emails are deliverable?
It validates MX records per domain so dead domains are flagged; pair with the Email Verification tool for full SMTP checks.
What formats does it accept?
Pass leads as an array of objects in the run input.
