Workflow type

Workflow steps
- Validate emails through the public Email Validation workflow
- Detect risky catch-all outcomes
- Send opt-in records to recovery scoring
- Store recovery confidence and recommended action
- Keep canonical status unchanged
Why this workflow fits
- Keeps catch-all detection separate from recovery-specific fields
- Avoids implying mailbox existence certainty
- Supports automation without sending verification emails
Setup sequence
Branch risky catch-all records
Send only opt-in recovery candidates to the recovery workflow and keep recovery fields separate from canonical status.
Persist recovery-specific fields
Store recovery confidence and recommended action without changing the validation result status.
Catch-all routing
Separate risky catch-all records from high-value validation results before campaign decisions.
Manual review queue
Use recovery recommendation fields to decide which catch-all records deserve review or cautious routing.
Common questions
Does recovery change risky to valid?
No. Recovery fields do not change the canonical validation status.
Does this require an official n8n node?
No. This page describes an HTTP/API workflow pattern, not an official n8n listing.
