5. Handle and filter the output

All Anymail Finder actions return an email_status field that tells you how reliable the result is. Possible values include:

  • valid: The email is verified and safe to use.
  • risky: The email was found but could not be fully verified. It may bounce, but can still be usable depending on your risk tolerance.
  • not_found (search only): No email address was found for the given input.
  • invalid (verification only): The email address is not deliverable. You should exclude these to protect your sender reputation.

Best practice for most workflows:

You can use n8n's IF node to branch your workflow based on email_status.

  • Continue only with valid emails
  • Optionally include risky emails if you're comfortable with some bounce risk
  • Always exclude invalid emails
