Automatic or manual email verification will run only for records with Email status = null.

Extension returns the verification status as returned by the Zero Bounce service and does not apply any validations to check the returned response.
- Finally, API Credits and API Key error checks are daily scheduled actions that are preset and cannot be updated after installation.
