How to Verify Emails in monday.com

monday.com keeps an email column on your CRM and contact boards, but the platform never confirms that the address in that column still reaches a live mailbox. Leads captured by connected forms, contacts pushed in by automations and API integrations, and rows typed in by team members all sit on the board looking ready to email until a campaign reveals how many bounce. This guide shows you how to export a monday.com board to Excel, verify it with VeriMails, and bring back status columns so your outreach stays deliverable.

TLDR

  • Export the relevant monday.com board or saved view, convert the contact tab to CSV, and run it through bulk verification.
  • Bring back verification status, reason, suggested action, and verified date columns so board filters and automations can use the results.
  • For high-volume boards or repeat cleanup, review pricing before deciding between credit packs and a monthly plan.

monday.com Export Setup Checklist

Use the export as a controlled handoff from board data to a verified spreadsheet. monday.com exports table views to Excel, and the cleaned results are easiest to apply when the export keeps stable item context.

Board scopeExport the board, saved filter, group, or selected items that match the outreach or cleanup job.Large boards should be split by group or view so each file stays reviewable and within export/import limits.
Columns to keepKeep item name, group, email, owner, source, status, and any ID or unique text column available on the board.These fields help you reconcile results and choose a reliable matching column when importing back into an existing board.
File handlingExport to Excel, open the file in Excel or Google Sheets, then save or download the contact tab as CSV for VeriMails.The verification workflow is simplest when the file uploaded to VeriMails is CSV.
Result strategyCreate verification status, reason, suggested action, and verified date columns before applying the cleaned file back to the board.Those fields let board filters and automations use verification results later.
Import limitsIf importing a spreadsheet back into monday.com, use the existing board import flow, map columns, and choose how matching items are handled.Use Update matches only when the selected match column is unique; otherwise apply results by copy-paste, API, or a reviewed automation.

Why Verify Your monday.com Contacts

monday.com is a flexible work operating system, and monday CRM is built on top of it as a set of configurable boards. That flexibility is exactly why contact data accumulates so quickly and so unevenly. An email column can be fed by a connected lead capture form, by automations that create items from incoming activity, by API integrations syncing from other tools, by Zapier or Make scenarios, and by team members typing rows in directly. None of those sources confirm the email is deliverable, so over time a contacts board fills with a mix of solid records and quietly dead addresses.

monday.com does not test whether an email column value works

The email column on a board item holds whatever value was entered or synced. It might be a typo from a manual entry, a malformed address from a form submission, an abandoned mailbox from an old import, or an address that was never valid. monday.com stores it without ever opening a connection to the mail server to confirm it is reachable. VeriMails runs that live test, so you can see which board items would bounce before you send through monday's email tools or push the board into a sequencing app.

Contact data on a board decays month after month

B2B contact data goes stale at roughly 2.1 percent per month, which compounds to around 22.5 percent a year, and close to 30 percent of B2B records become unreliable within twelve months as people change jobs and companies restructure. A contact added to a monday.com board a year ago from a webinar or a form has a real chance of being unreachable today. Because boards are easy to add to and rarely pruned, stale rows tend to pile up faster than anyone notices. Verifying an export right before outreach reflects the current deliverability of each address.

Bounces damage the sender reputation behind your boards

When you email board items directly through monday's email features or sync them to a cold outreach platform, every invalid address turns into a bounce. Mailbox providers read a high bounce rate as a signal that a list is low quality or purchased, and they respond by routing more of your mail to spam. A bounce rate above 3 percent needs attention, and above 5 percent it does lasting damage to your sending domain. Verifying first keeps bounces low and protects deliverability for every campaign you run from monday.com.

Clean board data keeps your monday.com dashboards honest

monday.com dashboards, charts, and automations all assume the contacts on a board can actually receive mail. Dead addresses inflate item counts, distort funnel and conversion widgets, and trigger automations that fire follow-up tasks against people who never received the first message. Because a monday.com board is often shared across an entire team, an unverified board quietly spreads bad data into everyone's view. Verifying the list keeps your dashboards grounded in contacts who genuinely exist.

What VeriMails Checks

VeriMails runs every address from your monday.com export through a layered set of checks. Each layer catches a different category of bad email, and every contact comes back with a definite status rather than a vague score.

It starts with syntax validation to catch malformed addresses, including the typos that slip in through manual entry in an email column. MX and DNS checks then confirm the domain exists and is configured to receive mail. The live SMTP handshake is the step that matters most: VeriMails opens a real connection to the receiving mail server and confirms the specific mailbox will accept a message, without ever sending one. This is what catches the abandoned mailboxes and departed contacts that monday.com still shows as active board items.

VeriMails also runs catch-all detection to flag domains that accept every address whether or not a real mailbox exists, disposable detection for temporary throwaway inboxes, and role-based detection for generic addresses such as info@ or sales@. Catch-all status is reported as a clear detection result, never a probability score. Across all of these checks VeriMails returns clear verification results that work well in live workflows.

Pricing for monday.com Users

Verification is priced so that cleaning a monday.com board before outreach costs very little against the value of protected deliverability. Credit packs start at $0.0019 per email, which is $19 for a 10,000-credit pack. Credit packs scale up to 5 million verifications for $1,499, and credits never expire, so a balance bought for one campaign carries forward to the next.

If you export and clean monday.com boards on a regular cadence, monthly subscriptions are available from $15 per month for the Starter plan with 10,000 credits up to $299 per month for the Agency plan with 1.5 million credits. Every new VeriMails account also includes 100 free credits with no credit card required, which is enough to verify a sample of your monday.com contacts and see how many board items hold invalid or catch-all addresses before you commit to a plan.

Step-by-Step

Export your contacts board from monday.com

Open the board that holds your contacts, then click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the board. Hover over More actions and choose Export board to Excel. You can choose whether to include subitems and updates. A single export is capped at 10,000 items, so if a board is larger, export one group at a time using the three-dot menu next to a group name.

Convert the monday.com file to CSV

monday.com delivers the export as an Excel .xlsx file, downloaded to your device or sent to your email. Open that file in Excel or Google Sheets and use Save As or Download to save the contact tab as a .csv file. Keep the email column and a stable column such as item name, group, or another unique value so you can match results back to the board later.

Upload the CSV to VeriMails

Sign in to VeriMails, open bulk verification, and upload the CSV from monday.com. VeriMails automatically detects the email column, so there is no manual mapping. The job runs as a queued bulk verification while the syntax, MX, DNS, SMTP, catch-all, disposable, and role-based checks all run.

Review valid, invalid, catch-all, and risky results

VeriMails sorts every address by status. Valid addresses are safe to email. Invalid addresses would hard bounce and should be removed before any send. Catch-all results are flagged so you can decide how to treat them. Disposable and role-based addresses appear separately. Download the filtered valid results as a clean CSV.

Bring the verification status back to monday.com

Use the verified CSV as your operating file. For an existing board, add verification status, reason, and verified date columns, then use the Import items flow to upload the CSV or XLSX file, map those columns, and choose Update matches only when your matching column is unique. If the match field is not reliable, update by copy-paste, API, or a trusted automation that checks item name, group, and email before writing status values. Confirm counts before any campaign uses the board.

What to Do With Each Result

Use the verification result to drive monday.com statuses and views. The board should show which contacts are send-ready, which are suppressed, and which need owner review.

  • Valid: Mark as verified, add the verified date, and keep the item eligible for outreach or CRM sync.
  • Invalid: Move to a suppression status and remove from campaign views before sending.
  • Catch-all: Put in a review group or status. Send only for high-value contacts and low-volume follow-up.
  • Disposable: Exclude from nurture and inspect the source that created the item.
  • Role-based: Keep for account-level operations if useful, but hold out of personalized sales sequences.
  • Unmatched row: Do not update automatically. Review the item name, group, and email before applying a status to the board.
