Mailboxlayer
Before your AI agent adds a lead to your CRM or sends a follow-up, Mailboxlayer verifies the email is real. Syntax checks, SMTP pings, MX record lookups, disposable email detection, and catch-all flags happen in milliseconds. Your database stays clean, your bounce rate drops, and every email you collect is deliverable.




Your AI agent validates email addresses through six distinct checks in a single API call, catching typos, fake providers, and undeliverable addresses before they pollute your data.

See how businesses use AI-powered email validation to block fake addresses, reduce bounces, and ensure every lead collected in conversation is genuine.
A visitor chats with your AI Agent and provides their email to download a whitepaper. Before creating the lead, the agent sends the email to Mailboxlayer for validation. The syntax is correct, SMTP confirms the mailbox exists, and no disposable flag is raised. The lead is saved to your CRM with confidence. Your marketing team sends to a verified address, not a bounce.
A user tries to sign up for a free trial using a disposable email. Your AI Agent validates through Mailboxlayer, which flags the address as a known disposable provider. The agent explains that a permanent email is required and asks for an alternative. Your trial abuse rate drops, and only genuine users access your product.
A visitor requests a demo and provides a Gmail address. Your AI Agent checks Mailboxlayer's free provider flag and determines this is a consumer email. For enterprise demos, the agent politely asks for a company email. When a corporate address is provided, it passes all validation checks. Your sales team gets qualified leads with business domains, improving meeting show rates.

FAQs
Mailboxlayer performs up to six checks in a single API call: syntax format validation, SMTP mailbox verification, MX record lookup, disposable email detection, free provider identification, and catch-all domain detection. Each check can be toggled on or off through parameters.
During. When a visitor provides their email, the agent sends it to Mailboxlayer immediately. The API responds in milliseconds with validation results. If the email fails checks, the agent asks for a correction within the same conversation flow. No delays, no post-hoc cleanup.
Yes. Mailboxlayer's API accepts parameters to enable or disable each check: format, smtp, mx, disposable, free, catch_all, and role. Configure the agent to run only the checks relevant to your use case, like skipping free provider detection for B2C scenarios.
Role-based addresses like info@, admin@, or support@ are tied to a function rather than a person. Mailboxlayer detects these with the role parameter. Whether to block them depends on your use case. For personal lead capture, you may want to flag them. For general inquiries, they are perfectly valid.
Tars passes the email to Mailboxlayer for validation and receives the result. The email is used during the conversation to create leads or respond to the visitor. Tars does not maintain a separate database of validated addresses. Your data stays in your CRM or marketing platform.
SMTP verification pings the actual mail server to confirm the mailbox exists. It is highly accurate for most domains. However, some servers do not respond to verification pings or use catch-all configurations, which Mailboxlayer flags separately so you can make informed decisions.
The agent handles API failures gracefully. If Mailboxlayer does not respond, the agent can accept the email with a note to verify later, or ask the visitor to confirm the address manually. Your conversation flow continues uninterrupted.
Validation volume depends on your Mailboxlayer plan. The free tier includes 250 monthly validations. Paid plans scale from there. Each conversation that collects an email uses one validation call. The agent manages your quota efficiently by validating only when an email is actually provided.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
