In a previous blog<\/a>, we had engaged in understanding duplicate lead detection which helps organizations with the cleaning up of data. Recently, Microsoft announced one more powerful feature called email validation with the help of which a user trying to enter an invalid email id will not be allowed to do so within Dynamics 365.<\/p>\n

To enhance the sales processes, email is very useful for communicating with prospects. With an invalid email address, sales might lose the customer because promotional or informative emails may not reach the right person. Hence, to overcome this loophole, Microsoft has introduced email address validation.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how to enable Email validation (Preview) feature<\/p>\n

Select Sales Hub app -> App Settings -> Data improvement<\/strong> >\u00a0Turn on email validation.\"Email<\/p>\n

Once email validation is enabled, it will review active lead records and if the user opens up any lead record with an invalid email id, it will be shown as a red-colored envelope.<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/p>\n

If the user knows this is a valid email address then he can mark it as \u2018Mark valid\u2019 or \u2018Compose Anyway\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/p>\n

If the user marks it as valid, it will be shown as a valid email address in a grey-colored envelope.\"Email<\/p>\n

Here are the factors which determine the correctness of an email address-<\/p>\n

1. Incorrect Syntax \u2013 Email addresses that have incorrect syntax<\/p>\n

2. Disposable domain \u2013 Email addresses that have an incorrect domain name<\/p>\n

3. Test or spam email addresses \u2013 Any idle email address or Email address that has an incorrect username, content, or format<\/p>\n

4. Expired email address \u2013 Email IDs that have expired<\/p>\n

5. Bounce Email \u2013 Email IDs that no longer receive messages or that bounce back<\/p>\n
