The problem

Managing a thriving online community on Discord, Slack, or similar platforms often involves an open invitation for new members. However, this openness also attracts bots and spammers who use fake or disposable email addresses to create multiple accounts. These undesirable accounts can flood channels with spam, post inappropriate content, or even attempt phishing attacks, eroding trust and overwhelming your moderation team. It directly impacts the experience for legitimate, engaged members.

The presence of numerous invalid or bot accounts skews your community's growth metrics, making it difficult to assess actual engagement and active user count. This can be problematic when reporting on community health or seeking funding/sponsorships, as inflated numbers provide an inaccurate picture. Furthermore, if your platform relies on email for critical announcements or account recovery, invalid addresses lead to communication failures and administrative headaches, undermining effective community governance.

How Verifyr solves it

Validate new member emails at registration, stopping bots and spammers from entering your Discord or Slack.

Concrete example


# Example: Python function for Discord bot registration validation
import requests

def validate_email(email):
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.verifyrhq.com/validate',
        headers={'X-API-KEY': 'YOUR_VERIFYR_API_KEY'},
        json={'email': email}
    )
    return response.json()

# In your Discord bot's registration flow:
# email_status = validate_email('new.member@community.com')
# if email_status.get('status') == 'valid' and not email_status.get('disposable'):
#     grant_access()
# else:
#     deny_access_or_flag()
