ZeroBounce Email Validation (Optional)

To help prevent spam signups on your WhautoChat Reseller SaaS deployment, you can optionally enable email validation using ZeroBounce. ZeroBounce is a third-party service that checks the validity of email addresses during user registration, reducing the risk of fake or disposable emails being used to create accounts.

Why Use ZeroBounce?​

  • Stop spam and fake signups
  • Improve the quality of your user base
  • Reduce the risk of abuse and fraud

How to Set Up ZeroBounce Validation​

  1. Visit the ZeroBounce website and create an account.
  2. Purchase credits (ZeroBounce charges per email validation).
  3. Generate your API key from your ZeroBounce dashboard.
  4. Update your web-server.env file in your installation folder with the following configuration:
# New Signup Email Validation Services (Optional - Setup if you want to stop spam signups)
IS_ZEROBOUNCE_ENABLED='false'
ZEROBOUNCE_API_KEY='your_zerobounce_api_key'
  • Set IS_ZEROBOUNCE_ENABLED to 'true' to enable ZeroBounce validation, or leave it as 'false' to keep it disabled (default).
  • Replace 'your_zerobounce_api_key' with the API key from your ZeroBounce account.

Note: ZeroBounce integration is optional. If you do not wish to use email validation for new signups, you can skip this configuration.
