Frequently asked questions

Dropcontact does not use a static database of old emails. Instead, it uses a real time verification process that checks the mail server of the target domain to confirm the address exists at the moment of the request. This means you get a current status rather than a guess based on data from six months ago. When Ceven triggers an enrichment, the agent waits for this verification step to complete so that only deliverable emails are pushed into your CRM. This significantly lowers your bounce rate and protects your sender reputation during large outbound campaigns.
Yes, but you must handle them in chunks. Dropcontact limits batch enrichment requests to 250 contacts per call. Ceven handles this limitation automatically by splitting your large CSV or CRM list into smaller batches of 250. The agent submits these requests sequentially and polls the Retrieve Enrichment Results endpoint until every contact is processed. You will see a progress bar in the workflow view. If you have a list of five thousand leads, the agent will simply run twenty separate batch calls and merge the results back into your system.
If the service cannot find a verified email, it returns a null result for that specific field rather than a guess. Ceven is configured to handle these gaps gracefully. You can build a conditional path in your workflow that marks these leads as unfindable or triggers a secondary search using a different tool. This prevents your sales team from wasting time on leads that cannot be reached. You are only charged for successful enrichments depending on your specific Dropcontact plan, so failed searches do not drain your credits.
Absolutely. You can use Dropcontact webhooks to create a real time loop. When a new lead enters your system, Ceven sends the data to Dropcontact and sets up a listener. As soon as Dropcontact finishes the verification and enrichment, it sends a webhook notification back to Ceven. The agent then immediately updates the lead record with the professional email and company details. This happens in seconds, allowing your sales team to reach out to a lead while they are still browsing your website or immediately after they submit a form.
Yes, Dropcontact enforces API rate limits based on your subscription tier. If you send too many concurrent requests, the API will return a 429 error. Ceven manages this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy. If the agent hits a rate limit, it will pause for a few seconds and then retry the request automatically. You do not need to manually time your requests. However, if you are running massive lists of tens of thousands of leads, we recommend scheduling these workflows during off peak hours to ensure the fastest possible processing speed.
No, Dropcontact is strictly a B2B tool designed for professional email addresses. It focuses on corporate domains and professional identity. If you provide a lead with only a personal email, the tool will not be able to enrich the professional data associated with their job. This is a deliberate design choice by Dropcontact to ensure high data quality and compliance with professional outreach standards. If your workflow requires personal email discovery, you would need to integrate a separate consumer data tool alongside Dropcontact within the Ceven platform.
When Ceven sends data to Dropcontact, it only transmits the necessary fields required for the search, such as the name and company domain. Dropcontact processes this to find the email and then returns the result. Ceven does not store your leads in a permanent database; it acts as the pipeline between your CRM and the enrichment API. All data in transit is encrypted. You can manage your data retention settings within your Dropcontact dashboard to ensure that information is handled according to your corporate privacy policy and GDPR requirements.
Enrichment is the process of finding missing information, such as discovering an email address when you only have a name and a company. Verification is the process of checking if a known email address is actually valid and will not bounce. Ceven can use Dropcontact for both. You can run a workflow that only verifies an existing list to clean it up, or you can run an enrichment workflow to find new contacts. Most users combine both by enriching a lead and then relying on the built in verification to ensure the result is safe to use.
