EMAIL LIST CLEANUP · Workflow idea

Spot email address typos before a list moves on.

Provide a list of email addresses to prepare a simple review showing each address, its domain, and whether its format appears valid. Use the results to find likely typos and ask a person to confirm corrections before the list is used for contact or outreach.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person’s selected list of email addresses from an approved source

“Separate the domain from each address and check its basic format, highlighting addresses that may need a person’s attention.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams catch common email formatting issues and understand which domain each address uses.

  1. Choose the addresses to check

    Select an approved contact list or provide a small set of addresses for review.

  2. Separate each address domain

    Show the domain portion alongside the original address so a teammate can review it easily.

  3. Check basic address formatting

    Flag entries that appear incomplete or incorrectly formatted without claiming that a mailbox is active.

  4. Review likely typos and duplicates

    Bring questionable entries and repeated addresses to a person who can verify the right contact details.

  5. Confirm the list before use

    Have a list owner approve the reviewed addresses and check contact preferences before any outreach.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review list with each email address, extracted domain, and a basic format result.

The handoff

A review list with each email address, extracted domain, and a basic format result.

Keep in mind

A valid-looking format does not confirm that a mailbox exists, belongs to the named person, or has agreed to receive messages. Check corrections with the appropriate person and follow current contact preferences before using the list.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose an approved address source

Identify which contact list or request form may provide addresses for this review.

Set the review fields and result labels

Decide how to display the original address, extracted domain, and basic format outcome.

Assign a list owner

Name who reviews questionable entries, confirms corrections, and decides whether a list is ready for its intended use.

Test valid, invalid, and repeated entries

Check ordinary addresses, common typos, and duplicates to ensure results are easy to interpret and not treated as proof of delivery.
