An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

Email Verification for Outbound Campaigns

Email Verification for Outbound Campaigns

Email verification checks whether an address is formatted correctly, active, and deliverable before you send. For outbound campaigns, this protects sender reputation, improves delivery rates, and reduces wasted effort on invalid contacts.

Why Verification Matters

A high bounce rate signals to inbox providers that your messages may be spam. After a threshold, your domain reputation declines and future emails land in spam or are blocked entirely. Verification prevents this by removing bad addresses before the first send.

What Verification Checks

Syntax validation confirms the address follows the correct format. Domain validation checks that the domain exists and accepts mail. Mailbox validation pings the server to confirm the specific address is active. Catch-all detection identifies domains that accept mail to any address, which may not represent a real person.

When to Verify

Run verification after collecting a list and before starting outreach. If you are enriching leads from public sources, verify immediately after enrichment. For ongoing campaigns, re-verify periodically because addresses become inactive over time.

Quality Standards

Remove invalid, disposable, temporary, and role addresses unless the role address is a legitimate business contact. Flag catch-all addresses for review rather than automatic exclusion. Keep unverifiable addresses in a separate queue for manual inspection.

Practical Workflow

Collect leads with business context
Enrich with verified contact details
Run email verification
Remove hard bounces and invalid syntax
Review catch-all and unverifiable addresses
Export clean list to outreach tool
Monitor bounce rate and reputation

Avoid Over-Cleaning

Do not remove every catch-all address. Some legitimate businesses use catch-all configurations. Use business context and source quality to decide.

Measure Results

Track verification pass rate, bounce rate after send, delivery rate, and sender reputation score. A well-verified list should have a bounce rate below two percent.

Conclusion

Email verification is not optional for outbound campaigns. It protects deliverability and ensures effort goes toward real prospects. Actus Agent can connect lead discovery, enrichment, verification, personalized drafting, and sending into one dependable workflow. Learn more at https://actusagent.cc.
