Overview
Validate an email address
The validateEmail
method is for validating and verifying email addresses in Salesforce. It checks the provided email against external validation sources and returns detailed insights, including whether the email is valid, disposable, a spam trap, or belongs to a free email provider.
This method works with the saveValidationResult method to store the validation outcome in Salesforce. After validating an email, the result can be processed to update records or saved for auditing purposes.
