I just made something cool for Google Sheets. It’s a script that lets you check if lots of email addresses are real without ever leaving the spreadsheet.
Here’s what it does:
Works right inside Google Sheets
Checks as many emails as you want
Super easy to use
The best part? It only costs about $5 a month for the API. That’s pretty cheap considering how useful it is.
Has anyone else tried making scripts like this for Google Sheets? I’d love to hear about your experiences or if you have any questions about how I set it up.
That’s an impressive project, charlottew! I’ve been using Google Sheets for years, but I’ve never ventured into custom scripting. Your email validator sounds like a game-changer, especially for businesses managing large contact lists.
I’m curious about the accuracy of the API you’re using. Have you found it to be reliable in catching typos or identifying disposable email addresses? Also, how does it handle the processing time for large batches of emails?
One thing I’ve always struggled with in Sheets is data validation at scale. Your script seems to solve that problem elegantly. I’d be interested to know if you’ve considered expanding its functionality to include other types of data validation or cleaning tasks.
Thanks for sharing your creation with the community. It’s inspiring to see what’s possible with a bit of coding knowledge and creativity!
wow thats rly cool! i tried making a script once but it didnt work out. how long did it take u to make? $5 a month sounds like a good deal for checking lots of emails. do u have any tips for someone who wants to try scripting in sheets?
I’ve dabbled in Google Sheets scripting before, but never tackled anything as ambitious as an email validator. Your project sounds incredibly useful, especially for businesses managing large contact lists. The $5/month API cost is quite reasonable considering the potential time savings. Have you encountered any rate limiting issues with the API? I’m curious about the script’s performance when processing thousands of email addresses. Also, did you implement any error handling for network timeouts or invalid responses? Those can be tricky to manage in Sheets scripts. If you’re open to sharing, I’d be interested in seeing how you structured the code.
