Outbound that reaches real inboxes.

The problem with outbound today

Most sales teams rely on contact databases that were scraped months or years ago. People change jobs, companies rebrand, domains expire. The result is bounce rates that tank your sender reputation and sequences that never reach anyone.

When your emails bounce, your domain reputation drops. Email providers start routing your messages to spam. The more you send to bad addresses, the harder it becomes to reach even the good ones. It compounds fast.

The traditional fix is to buy a bigger database or layer on a verification tool after the fact. But verification alone does not solve the core issue: the email was wrong to begin with.

How emailfinder.dev solves this

We do not maintain a database of emails. Every single lookup performs a live SMTP verification against the recipient mail server at the moment you request it. If the mailbox exists and accepts mail, you get the address. If not, you get nothing and pay nothing.

This means the data you receive is always current. There is no cache to go stale, no monthly refresh cycle, no confidence scores to interpret. The email either works right now, or we do not return it.

For sales teams, this translates directly into higher deliverability, fewer bounces, and outbound sequences that actually land in the inbox.

Prospecting by name and company

The most common sales workflow is simple: you know who you want to reach and where they work. Pass a full name and company domain to the Person Email endpoint, and you get a verified email back in under 3 seconds.

This works for building prospect lists from scratch, enriching leads from events or webinars, or filling in missing contact data in your CRM before launching a sequence.

Targeting decision makers directly

Sometimes you do not have a specific name. You just know you need to reach the CEO, the VP of Sales, or the Head of Engineering at a target account. The Decision Maker endpoint lets you search by role category and domain.

We return the verified email along with the person's full name, job title, and LinkedIn URL when available. This is useful for account-based selling where you need to map the buying committee before reaching out.

From LinkedIn profile to email

Social selling often starts on LinkedIn. You find a prospect, engage with their content, and then need to move the conversation to email. The LinkedIn Lookup endpoint takes any LinkedIn profile URL and returns a verified email address.

The response also includes the person's full name, current job title, and company. This gives you everything you need to write a personalized first touch without leaving your workflow.

Integrating into your sales stack

All endpoints are simple GET requests with Bearer token authentication and JSON responses. You can integrate directly into your CRM, sequencing tool, or custom pipeline with minimal effort.

The API supports 1,000 requests per minute, which means you can enrich entire prospect lists in bulk. Credits are deducted atomically, so there are no race conditions when running parallel lookups.

Most teams connect emailfinder.dev to tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, or custom internal systems via direct API calls or middleware like Zapier and Make.
