How this works

This workflow empowers sales and marketing teams to effortlessly verify and enrich leads by checking email validity directly from Telegram messages, saving hours of manual outreach to dead ends. It processes incoming leads via a form trigger, automatically validates the email using Hunter's verification service, and scores the lead's potential with MadKudu to prioritise high-value prospects. The key step hinges on the Hunter integration, which confirms email deliverability before any further actions, ensuring your team focuses on genuine opportunities.

Use this workflow when handling Telegram-sourced leads in real-time, such as during live events or chat campaigns, to maintain a clean pipeline without overwhelming your CRM. Avoid it for bulk imports exceeding thousands of emails, where dedicated batch tools like Hunter's API dashboard perform better. Common variations include adding a Slack notification for high-scoring leads or integrating with Google Sheets to log verified contacts automatically.
