Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the MX Lookup API, and map your trigger data to the request.
- 3
Send it back. Add a second Microsoft Outlook action for "Send email" and map the returned fields (like domain) into it.
- 4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.
Set up with Make
