Bulletproof Lead Capture Forms

A potential customer fills out your demo request at midnight. Your AI Agent validates their email through Abstract's API, detects it's a company domain with valid MX records, confirms deliverability, and routes the qualified lead to your sales team. No more bounced follow-up emails or fake submissions cluttering your pipeline.

Fraud-Resistant Account Creation

Someone attempts to create an account with a suspicious email. Your AI Agent calls Abstract's Email Reputation API, discovers the address is from a known disposable provider with a high-risk score. The agent requests an alternative email, blocking potential fraudsters while legitimate users sail through signup.

Secure Refund Processing

A customer requests a refund to their bank account. Your AI Agent collects their IBAN, validates the format and country code through Abstract's API, and confirms the account structure is correct before initiating the transfer. Finance teams process refunds faster with fewer failed transactions.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent validate emails during live conversations?

When a customer provides an email address, your agent makes a real-time call to Abstract's Email Validation API. The response includes deliverability status, format validity, MX record checks, and whether it's a disposable address. Your agent can then accept, request correction, or flag the entry based on your rules.

What's the difference between email validation and email reputation in Abstract?

Email Validation confirms an address is real and can receive mail by checking syntax, MX records, and SMTP verification. Email Reputation goes further, scoring the address for risk factors like spam trap likelihood, abuse history, and deliverability reputation. Use validation for basic checks, reputation for fraud prevention.

Can the agent auto-correct email typos without asking the customer?

Abstract's API includes an auto_correct parameter that suggests corrections for common typos. You can configure your agent to either automatically apply corrections silently, confirm with the customer before fixing, or simply flag the issue. Most businesses choose to confirm changes to avoid confusion.

Does Tars store copies of validated email addresses or IBAN numbers?

Tars processes validation requests in real-time and does not cache or store the sensitive data sent to Abstract. The API response is used during the conversation and passed to your connected systems. Abstract's own data retention policies apply to their API logs.

What countries are supported for IBAN validation?

Abstract's IBAN Validation API supports all IBAN-issuing countries following the ISO 13616 standard. This includes all EU member states, UK, Switzerland, and over 70 countries worldwide. The API validates format structure and country-specific length requirements.

How does this differ from using Abstract's API directly in my application?

Direct API integration requires custom code for each validation touchpoint. With Tars, your AI agent handles validation conversationally, asking clarifying questions, suggesting corrections, and explaining issues in natural language. Customers get a guided experience instead of cryptic error messages.

Can I validate both personal and business email addresses?

Yes. Abstract validates all email types including personal (Gmail, Yahoo), business domains, and even role-based addresses like 'info@' or 'sales@'. The reputation API can flag role-based emails if you want to require personal addresses for certain use cases.

What happens if Abstract's API is temporarily unavailable?

You can configure fallback behavior in your agent. Options include accepting submissions tentatively and validating later, asking customers to try again shortly, or using alternative validation rules. Most businesses set a grace period with post-conversation validation for continuity.
