Email Permutator
Generate common email address variations to find the correct email for your prospect.
Tip: Paste the generated list into Gmail's "To" field. Hover over each address — if a profile picture appears, it's likely a valid email!
About Email Permutator
The Email Permutator is a specialized utility for sales development representatives (SDRs), recruiters, and growth marketers. It solves a critical problem in outbound outreach: identifying the correct, valid email address for a high-value prospect when only their name and company domain are known.
The Logic Behind Email Permutation
Corporate IT departments typically standardize email formats to maintain professional consistency. This predictability is what makes permutation effective. By generating the 20+ most common syntax combinations (e.g., first.last@, f.last@, first@), you cover approximately 95% of corporate email naming conventions.
Strategic Use Cases
- Sales Prospecting: Bypass gatekeepers by reaching decision-makers directly in their primary inbox.
- Recruitment: Connect with passive candidates who may not check LinkedIn InMail frequently.
- PR & Link Building: Reach editors and journalists by correctly guessing their direct contact info.
Workflow for Verification
Generating the list is step one. To ensure high deliverability and protect your sender reputation:
- Generate: Input the prospect's details above to create the permutation list.
- Copy: Use the "Copy All" button to grab the entire list.
- Validate via Gmail: Paste the list into a new Gmail draft. Hover over each address. If a Google Workspace profile photo or full name appears, that address is active and valid.
- Validate via Tools: Alternatively, run the list through bulk email verification services like NeverBounce or ZeroBounce to check for server responses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common email format?
Statistically, firstname.lastname@company.com is the most prevalent format, followed closely by firstinitial.lastname@company.com. However, smaller startups often use just firstname@company.com.
Will this trigger spam filters?
The tool itself just generates text. However, never send emails to the entire generated list at once. Doing so will result in a high bounce rate (since most are invalid), which damages your domain reputation. You must verify the correct address before sending.
Is this legal?
guessing an email address is legal. However, sending unsolicited emails (cold outreach) is regulated by laws like CAN-SPAM (US) and GDPR (Europe). Ensure your outreach is compliant, relevant, and offers an easy opt-out method.
Does this work for personal emails (Gmail/Yahoo)?
This tool works best for business domains. Personal email addresses (like coolguy1992@gmail.com) rarely follow strict name-based conventions, making permutation less effective.
