# Email and phone

> Find a work email, check whether it is deliverable, and find a direct or mobile phone number.

Finding a way to reach someone and checking that it works are separate actions. Run **Find work email** first, then **Verify email** to know if it will actually land.

## Find an address

**Find work email** checks a person's name and company against multiple sources until one confirms an address. It returns the address alone; it never claims the mailbox will accept mail.

## Check whether it is deliverable

**Verify email** looks up one address and returns a **Deliverability** verdict: valid, risky, catch-all, invalid, disposable or unknown.

## Find a phone number

**Find phone number** returns a direct or mobile number. Feed it a LinkedIn URL, or a first name, last name and company. There is no matching check for phone, so a number comes back as found or not at all.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What does a catch-all verdict mean?">
    The domain accepts mail sent to almost any address at it, so it cannot confirm this particular one is real. Treat it as a soft yes rather than a confirmed address.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does unknown mean?">
    None of the sources checked could reach a verdict, often because a mail server temporarily refused the check. Verify it again later rather than treating it as invalid.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does finding an address also verify it?">
    No. Finding an address checks multiple sources for a match. Verifying deliverability is a separate action, with its own column and its own cost.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I chain the two together?">
    Yes. Bind Verify email's input to the column Find work email fills, so a new row runs both, one after the other.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can I verify an email but not a phone number?">
    Nothing on the market checks a phone number the way a mail server checks an address, so there is no verify step to offer. Judge a number by whether it came back at all.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which inputs give the best phone results?">
    A LinkedIn URL is the strongest single input. Without one, give the first name, last name and company together, since a partial row is what most often comes back empty.
