The problem

When provisioning new users for internal SaaS tools, incorrect or outdated email addresses can lead to significant headaches for IT and HR teams. Account creation failures, inability to send password reset links, or incorrect permissions due to misidentified users are common problems. This results in manual interventions, delays in employee onboarding, and potential security vulnerabilities from unverified accounts.

Relying on unvalidated email data for user provisioning can complicate directory services management and single sign-on (SSO) integrations. If an email address is invalid, the user might be unable to receive critical activation links or access their assigned tools, causing frustration and productivity loss. Automating email validation ensures a smooth, secure, and error-free provisioning process for all internal applications.

How Verifyr solves it

Integrate Verifyr into your user provisioning scripts or Identity and Access Management (IAM) system for real-time validation.

Prevent account creation failures and ensure successful delivery of activation and password reset emails for internal users.

Maintain a clean and accurate internal user directory, streamlining access management and enhancing security posture.

Concrete example


# PowerShell script for user provisioning validation
$email = "new_employee@yourcompany.com"
$verifyrApiKey = "YOUR_VERIFYR_API_KEY"
$apiUrl = "https://api.verifyrhq.com/v1/validate?email=$($email)&api_key=$($verifyrApiKey)"

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Method Get
if (-not $response.valid -or $response.disposable) {
    Write-Host "Error: Invalid or disposable email for provisioning: $($email)"
    exit 1
}
Write-Host "Email $($email) is valid. Proceeding with provisioning."
# Add-ADUser -Identity $email -EmailAddress $email ...
