Hi, so I’m in the process of creating a zap with MailChimp and NeverBounce so that when people sign up with invalid emails, it automatically deletes/unsubscribes the email before any automations start.

So far it’s working except for when I use the Zapier filter option. I only seem to get the option to filter emails that are invalid but I also want to filter emails that fall under these categories:

Disposable

catchall

unknown

But I don’t seem to have those options in the filter.

I should point out that I did ask ChatGPT and it said I should be able to do it but perhaps it’s outdated and the only option now is for invalid emails.

Hi ​@BP85 

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing:

The Filter condition will never evaluate to true, since you are comparing an email address value from Mailchimp to a verification result value (e.g. invalid) from NeverBounce.

WRONG: n1. Email] exactly matches c2. Verification Result]

 

RIGHT: (NOTE: without the quotes around the value)
<2. Verification Result] exactly matches “invalid”
OR
/2. Verification Result] exactly matches “disposable”
OR
<2. Verification Result] exactly matches “catchall”
OR
l2. Verification Result] exactly matches “unknown”

 

 


Apologies if this is basic and it’s just me that isn’t getting it but I don’t seem to have the option to choose verification result:

 

 


@BP85 

It’s the variable you had already selected in the Zap Filter condition, expect that needs to be the top/left condition instead of d1. Email]

 


Thanks, it finallly clicked.


Wow! Thank you for confirming that Troy’s resolution got the Zap running. This will significantly help our Community members to have as a reference for the same issue.
