<summary>What is Email Finder Confidence Level?</summary>

Confidence Level is a reliability indicator used primarily for **Bulk Email Finder** results. It helps determine how safe and reliable a discovered email list is for outreach campaigns.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I get an email address for all my inputs?</summary>

Not always. An email may not be found if:

* the provided information is incomplete
* the domain does not have a configured mail server
* no reliable email pattern can be identified

If the result shows “**email not found**”, no credits are charged.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How accurate is the Clearout Email Finder?</summary>

Clearout Email Finder performs multiple validation checks before returning results to ensure high accuracy. Discovered emails are validated to reduce invalid or risky addresses.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How fast does Clearout process bulk email searches?</summary>

Bulk email searches are processed quickly depending on the number of records and domain responsiveness. Large lists may take longer to complete.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I exclude role-based email addresses (e.g., info@ or support@)?</summary>

Yes. Clearout allows filtering of **role-based email addresses** so that only individual contacts are returned. You can tweak the settings from [here](https://app.clearout.io/settings/email_finder).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I integrate Email Finder with my software?</summary>

Yes. Clearout Email Finder provides an **Email Finder API** that allows integration with CRMs, marketing platforms, and custom applications. You can also use other tools via [Zapier](https://docs.clearout.io/integrations/automation/zapier).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does Email Finder support free domain email finding?</summary>

Yes. Email Finder can return results for both business and free domains, though business domains generally provide more reliable B2B contact results.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will Email Finder results bounce?</summary>

While discovered emails are validated before being returned, no email discovery tool can guarantee zero bounces due to factors such as catch-all domains or strict mail server policies.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do I need to verify emails before using them in campaigns?</summary>

Email Finder results are pre-verified, but email status may change over time. It is recommended to verify emails again before sending campaigns if there is a delay.

Yes. Clearout provides **free credits** that allow you to test the Email Finder before purchasing additional credits.
