Check every never-checked email address on the selected contacts, the contacts table’s bulk Check emails. Addresses checked before are skipped and cost nothing; when the credits run out the rest stay unchecked. Async: poll getBulkTask(bulkTaskId); its emailChecks gives checkedCount, undeliverableCount and notCheckedCount once it finishes, and each result is on the address (getContact). getContactEmailCheckSummary first says how many addresses it would check. One email-verification credit per address checked, the same credits as the app (plan allowance first, then bought; checkBillingAction with action EMAIL_VERIFICATION says how many are left), so name the count and have the person agree before a large one. ADMIN: the key owner must currently be an org admin. SELECTION, one of two forms: contactIds, or a contact filter (filterId from listContactFilters, or an inline filterTree in saveFilter’s CONTACT DSL, parsed strictly) with selectCount: N, the first N matches: count the filter with countContacts and pass that count. A filter without selectCount, or beside contactIds, is refused. At most 20,000 contacts per call.

Variables

The example sends only what the schema requires. Some operations also need one of several optional variables (one filter or another, say); the description above says which.

contactIds[String!]
filterIdID
filterTreeJSON
selectCountInt

Response

What comes back under data: a list shows as one entry, and a value as its type.

Errors

Idempotency

Send an Idempotency-Key of 1 to 255 characters. A finished request retried with the same key replays its stored response, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true; one still in flight returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Keys expire after 24 hours. Write without fear →
