FAQs
Q: Can I use Tomba.io as a trigger in Zapier? A: No, Tomba.io only provides actions. Use other apps (webhooks, Google Sheets, etc.) as triggers.
Q: How many API calls does one Zap execution use? A: Each Tomba.io action in a Zap uses one API request. Multiple actions = multiple requests.
Q: Can I verify email lists in bulk? A: Yes, use a Zapier loop with spreadsheet rows or Zapier Tables. Each verification counts as one API request.
Q: What happens if I exceed my API limit? A: Requests will fail with a 429 error. Upgrade your plan or wait until your limit resets.
Q: Can I customize the data returned? A: Use Zapier's Formatter steps to transform Tomba.io output data as needed.
