Hi Jessica

I have a file like as under picture

And i want to know if it possible to check if this email exist with alteryx ? for example i can make this test with PDO (  i  send a ping at the  server email and i waits a return)

You could look to use an online email verification service.

https://mailboxlayer.com/ has a JSON REST API which could be accessed using Alteryx relatively simply.

I believe PDO system sends the user an email and waits for verification before updating in the database. This would be tricky to achieve in Alteryx as you are waiting for an external event to occur.

Thanks for your message ,

plizz i have a error message when a try to call the api in alteryx " Error: Download (2): Error transferring data: Failure when receiving data from the peer " 

Il try to do  :  

"https://apilayer.net/api/check
? access_key = MyKEY
& email =" +[Email]+''

and Email is a variable with for example ="ahmed@gmail.com"
