Use this guide when your CSV has first_name, last_name, and domain and you need a work email for each person. The maintained batch Play tries its configured route until it reaches its current result rule. It can return no result. Provider order, availability, validation gates, and price are part of the live Play contract. Inspect that contract before a run; do not infer it from an example or previous run. For a LinkedIn URL, a personal email, or a company-and-role search, start with Example prebuilt Plays instead.

Prerequisites

  • Deepline is installed and connected to the workspace that should run the lookup.
  • leads.csv has a header row and the fields the Play requires.
  • You have three representative rows to inspect before you run the full file.

Validate it without deploying or spending credits

Read the live contract and check it before you run anything:
plays check validates that the prebuilt Play is available. It does not deploy the Play, create a run, or call an email provider. For a LinkedIn URL, inspect and run prebuilt/person-linkedin-to-email or its batch variant instead.

Create a representative pilot file

Make leads-pilot.csv with the header and three rows that represent the list: one likely match, one typical row, and one difficult row. Do not use only easy records. Before you start provider work, inspect any provider action named in the live Play contract:
Run the pilot:
This starts provider work and can use Deepline credits. The command prints a run ID. Use that ID to inspect the completed result:

Review the pilot

Before you scale, check:
  • Each returned email belongs to the intended person and company.
  • Unresolved rows are visible rather than silently replaced with guesses.
  • The current route and Deepline-credit usage are acceptable for the full list.
  • The difficult row did not reveal a missing field or an unsuitable match rule.
email_validated means the candidate passed the current Play’s validation gate; it is not a delivery guarantee. The exact output schema and waterfall-step outcomes are in plays describe.
A completed run is not automatically a usable result. Approve the full run only after you have checked the returned values and unresolved rows.

Run the full file

Run the same maintained Play against the reviewed input:
Use the run ID from the completed command to inspect or export the final result. For a cost-review checklist, read Cost control.

Next step

Use the resulting list in a downstream Play only after you review it. For a custom sequence of research, enrichment, and activation, build a custom Play.
