What Types of Data Import Checks Should Be Performed?
Several types of checks should be conducted during the data import process:
Format Validation: Ensure that the data is in the correct format. For instance, email addresses should follow the standard email format (e.g., user@example.com). Duplicate Removal: Identify and eliminate duplicate entries to prevent sending multiple emails to the same recipient. Data Accuracy: Verify that the data is accurate and up-to-date. Cross-check against authoritative sources if necessary. Compliance Check: Ensure that the data complies with relevant data protection laws such as GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and others. Permission Verification: Confirm that you have the necessary permissions to email the contacts. This includes checking for opt-in consent.
