Three steps, no code
A Zap has a trigger, an action and a destination. Validation slots in as the middle step.
01
Pick a trigger
Start from something that already happens: a new form submission, a new CRM contact, a new row in a sheet, a file dropped in a folder.
02
Add the Email Awesome step
Drop validation into the workflow. The address is checked before anything downstream runs.
03
Route on the result
Use the returned status to branch: create the record, tag it for review, or stop the workflow entirely. This is the step most teams skip, and it's the one that does the work.
Apps with a guide of their own
Each one has a setup walkthrough and answers to the questions that come up with that specific tool.

What to do with each status inside a Zap
The most common integration mistake is treating validation as pass or fail. Four statuses come back, and each deserves a different branch.
Status
Zap branch
Why
Valid
Continue as normal
The mailbox exists and accepted the check.
Invalid
Stop, or route to a review list
Creating the record is what causes the bounce later.
Catch all
Create, but tag it
Can't be confirmed, so it needs a different sending policy.
Unknown
Retry later
No definitive answer, and never charged.
Which one do you need?
Zapier and the API reach the same validation.
The difference is where your data enters and who sets it up.
Zapier
When your data arrives through tools
Where it fits
Forms, CRMs, spreadsheets and file drops: anything already running in your stack.
Who sets it up
Anyone on the team. No engineering time and no code.
How it runs
Inside a Zap, seconds after the trigger fires.
API
When validation belongs in your product
Where it fits
Signup, checkout or any field where a person is waiting for an answer.
Who sets it up
A developer, working against the API reference.
How it runs
In your own code, fast enough to block a form submit.
Most teams end up using both
Zapier for operations, the API for the product.
