Set Up Email Validation Endpoint

Create a webhook endpoint that will receive Mailchimp subscriber data and validate emails using 1lookup's API:

Webhook URL Example:

https://your-domain.com/mailchimp-validation

Sample Validation Code:

// Example Node.js webhook handler
app.post('/mailchimp-validation', async (req, res) => {
  const { data } = req.body;
  const email = data.email;
  
  // Validate email with 1lookup
  const validation = await fetch('https://app.1lookup.io/api/v1/email', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email })
  });
  
  const result = await validation.json();
  
  // Update Mailchimp subscriber with validation data
  if (result.is_valid && result.risk_level === 'low') {
    // Add to high-quality segment
    await updateMailchimpSubscriber(email, 'high-quality');
  } else {
    // Tag for review or suppress
    await updateMailchimpSubscriber(email, 'needs-review');
  }
  
  res.status(200).send('OK');
});
4

Create Validation-Based Segments

Set up Mailchimp segments based on email validation results to improve your campaign targeting:

High Quality Emails

  • → Valid = true
  • → Risk level = low
  • → Disposable = false
  • → Send all campaigns

Medium Risk Emails

  • → Valid = true
  • → Risk level = medium
  • → Send important campaigns only
  • → Monitor engagement

High Risk/Invalid

  • → Valid = false OR risk = high
  • → Suppress from campaigns
  • → Review manually
  • → Consider removal

Role-Based Emails

  • → Role-based = true
  • → Send business content only
  • → Avoid personal promotions
  • → Lower frequency

AI-Powered Audience Segmentation Pipeline

Enterprise

A sophisticated workflow that validates emails, analyzes engagement patterns, and creates dynamic segments based on email quality, engagement prediction, and deliverability scores.

// Advanced Mailchimp segmentation with 1lookup
const segmentSubscriber = async (email, subscriberData) => {
  // Step 1: Validate email with 1lookup
  const validation = await validate1lookup(email);
  
  // Step 2: Calculate engagement score
  const engagementScore = calculateEngagementScore({
    openRate: subscriberData.avg_open_rate,
    clickRate: subscriberData.avg_click_rate,
    lastActivity: subscriberData.last_changed
  });
  
  // Step 3: Determine segment based on validation + engagement
  let segment = 'general';
  
  if (validation.is_valid && validation.risk_level === 'low') {
    if (engagementScore > 80) {
      segment = 'super-engaged-verified';
    } else if (engagementScore > 50) {
      segment = 'engaged-verified';
    } else {
      segment = 'verified-potential';
    }
  } else if (validation.is_valid && validation.risk_level === 'medium') {
    segment = 'verified-cautious';
  } else {
    segment = 'needs-review';
  }
  
  // Step 4: Update Mailchimp with tags and segments
  await updateMailchimpSubscriber(email, {
    tags: [
      `validation_${validation.risk_level}`,
      `engagement_${Math.floor(engagementScore/20)*20}`,
      `deliverability_${validation.deliverability_score}`
    ],
    segments: [segment]
  });
  
  return { segment, validation, engagementScore };
};

Benefits:This advanced segmentation increases email ROI by 65% through precision targeting and improved deliverability management.

Real-time Campaign Optimization Engine

Performance

Pre-send email validation with intelligent send time optimization and dynamic content personalization based on email validation data and predicted engagement.

// Pre-campaign optimization workflow
const optimizeCampaign = async (campaignId, audienceId) => {
  // Step 1: Get campaign audience
  const audience = await mailchimp.lists.getListMembersInfo(audienceId);
  
  // Step 2: Batch validate emails
  const validationResults = await Promise.all(
    audience.members.map(member => 
      validate1lookup(member.email_address)
    )
  );
  
  // Step 3: Create optimized send lists
  const sendLists = {
    prime: [], // High deliverability, immediate send
    standard: [], // Good deliverability, delayed send  
    cautious: [], // Medium risk, limited frequency
    suppress: [] // High risk or invalid
  };
  
  audience.members.forEach((member, i) => {
    const validation = validationResults[i];
    const score = validation.deliverability_score;
    
    if (validation.is_valid && score > 85) {
      sendLists.prime.push(member);
    } else if (validation.is_valid && score > 70) {
      sendLists.standard.push(member);
    } else if (validation.is_valid && score > 50) {
      sendLists.cautious.push(member);
    } else {
      sendLists.suppress.push(member);
    }
  });
  
  // Step 4: Schedule optimized sends
  await scheduleOptimizedSends(campaignId, sendLists);
  
  return {
    totalAudience: audience.members.length,
    primeList: sendLists.prime.length,
    suppressedCount: sendLists.suppress.length,
    expectedDeliverability: calculateExpectedDeliverability(sendLists)
  };
};

Performance Impact:Customers using this optimization see 45% better deliverability and 30% higher engagement rates.

Advanced Mailchimp Email Validation Pro Tips for 2025

Master these advanced techniques used by top email marketers to maximize the effectiveness of your Mailchimp email validation and deliverability optimization workflows in 2025.

Pre-Send Validation Timing

Validate emails 24-48 hours before sending campaigns to account for any recent changes in email status. This approach reduces bounces by an additional 15% compared to validation at list import.

Schedule: Campaign - 48h → Validate → Campaign - 24h → Final Audience → Send

Dynamic Suppression Lists

Create dynamic suppression lists that automatically update based on validation results and engagement metrics. This prevents sending to degraded emails and maintains your sender reputation.

Auto-suppress: Risk score > 70, Bounced in last 30 days
Monitor: Risk score 50-70, Low engagement

Engagement-Based Re-validation

Re-validate emails that haven't engaged in 90+ days before including them in re-engagement campaigns. Many inactive emails become invalid over time, and sending to them hurts deliverability.

💡 Pro Tip: Tag re-validated subscribers with their validation date to track the effectiveness of your re-engagement campaigns.

Reputation Protection Workflows

Set up automated workflows that monitor your sender reputation and adjust email validation thresholds accordingly. During reputation recovery, use stricter validation criteria.

Multi-Touch Validation Strategy

Implement validation at multiple touchpoints: signup, list import, pre-campaign, and quarterly hygiene. Each validation point catches different types of email degradation.

Mailchimp Email Validation Troubleshooting Guide

Common API Integration Issues

Issue: Rate limiting errors from Mailchimp API
Solution: Implement exponential backoff and respect Mailchimp's rate limits (10 calls/second for most endpoints).
Issue: Webhook delivery failures
Solution: Ensure your webhook endpoint returns HTTP 200 within 15 seconds. Implement retry logic for failed validations.

Email Validation Accuracy Issues

Issue: Valid emails being marked as invalid
Solution: Check if the email servers are temporarily down. Our API provides detailed status codes - use the 'status' field to handle temporary failures.
Issue: High risk scores for legitimate emails
Solution: Review the risk factors in the API response. Some legitimate emails (like free email providers) may have higher risk scores.

Performance & Deliverability Issues

Issue: No improvement in deliverability after implementation
Solution: Ensure you're using validation results to create segments and exclude high-risk emails. Monitor for 2-3 campaigns to see impact.
Issue: Bulk validation taking too long
Solution: Use our bulk API endpoint for lists over 1,000 emails. Process in batches of 10,000 for optimal performance.
