Once client is selected, select the list which you'd like to clean and click Import.
The list is imported and the verification process is about to begin. Click on the Start button to initiate the verification process. It may take upto a few minutes, depending upon the size of your list.
After you click Start, you're free to logout and attend to other tasks while our system conducts the verification process. Your logging out will not affect the verification process.
Export results to iContact
When our verification process has cleaned your list, you will receive an email saying the list is clean and ready for download.
You'll see a button titled Download. Click on it.
You'll see a modal box offering what you'd like to do with the list. Click on Export results to iContact. If you had logged out after clicking on Start, you'll need to login again before you reach this window.
Please note you're now on an important stage of the export result process. This is where you decide how you're going to treat the verification results.
As you can see on the screen, there are a few checkboxes, default-checked. The email addresses that are grouped under "Email Result type: Valid" will all be taken to a newly created list. Keep this box checked.
Other email addresses will be given attributes "Role", "Disposable" or "Accept All". The email addresses associated with each box that is checked will not be carried into the new list. We suggest you maintain these recommended default settings.
If, however, you wish to include email addresses with a particular attribute, you need to uncheck that particular box.
Now hit Export.
You'll be asked to confirm your action by clicking on Yes Proceed.
