CONTACT ADDRESS QUALITY · Workflow idea

Catch mailing address problems while a new contact is still fresh.

When a new contact is added, check whether the supplied mailing address appears deliverable and return the result to the contact record. Make the outcome available to the team so someone can follow up on an unclear or undeliverable address before relying on it for mail.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A newly created contact record containing a postal address

“Check the contact’s mailing address for likely deliverability and record the result alongside the contact for team review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams catch address issues early so they can resolve them before sending postal communications.

  1. Notice a newly added contact

    Start an address review when a new contact record includes a mailing address.

  2. Check the supplied address

    Review whether the address is recognized as deliverable and keep any suggested correction visible.

  3. Record the check result

    Add the outcome to the relevant contact record so the team can see whether the address appears usable.

  4. Flag unclear or undeliverable addresses

    Make uncertain results easy for a teammate to find rather than treating them as confirmed.

  5. Follow up with the contact when needed

    Have a person request clarification or correction before the address is used for a mailing.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A contact record with an address-check outcome, including an indication when the address needs correction or a person’s attention.

The handoff

A contact record with an address-check outcome, including an indication when the address needs correction or a person’s attention.

Keep in mind

An address check is not proof that a person lives there or will receive a particular item. Verify uncertain results with the contact, use the address only for the stated purpose, and follow the team’s privacy and retention practices.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the contact fields to review

Confirm which address details are available and which contact records should receive an address check.

Decide how results appear to the team

Choose the contact record fields or review queue used to display deliverability and suggested corrections.

Set up private account access

Connect the contact system and address-checking service using credentials managed by the appropriate owner.

Test deliverable, incomplete, and uncertain addresses

Check varied examples and confirm the result is recorded against the right person without replacing an address automatically.
