Identify role and shared inbox addresses
Why this signal matters
Role addresses represent teams, not individuals. Marketing to info@ rarely drives personal engagement; sales teams need to know when a lead is a shared inbox. Flagging role addresses at capture time helps CRM routing, lead scoring, and outbound personalization.
FAQ
- What counts as a role address?
- Local parts that map to shared inboxes—info, support, admin, sales, and similar prefixes used across organizations.
- Should I block role addresses at signup?
- Often no. Many B2B signups use role inboxes. Flag them for routing, lead scoring, or sales assignment instead of hard blocks.
- Does this detect department aliases?
- It flags known role prefixes. Custom aliases may still validate as personal addresses unless they match the role list.
