Searchbug’s Phone Validation App is Now Available in Zoho CRM
If you manage contacts in Zoho CRM, you know how important accurate phone numbers are. Calling disconnected numbers or reaching out to someone on a Do-Not-Call list can waste time and even create problems. That is why we built something new for you.
Our Phone Number Validation App is now available on Zoho Marketplace. It works inside Zoho CRM so you can clean and check phone numbers without leaving the platform you already use. It is simple to install and even easier to use.
Why Phone Validation Matters for Zoho Users
Data quality affects how your team works every day. Wrong or disconnected numbers make outreach harder and slow down the sales process. When you try to reach someone and the call fails, that is time that could have gone to another lead.
There is also the risk of calling someone who should not be contacted. If a number is on the National or State Do-Not-Call list, making that call can lead to complaints or worse, fines. Businesses that follow compliance rules know how important it is to stay within the law.
Our new app solves these problems. It validates your contacts in real time, so your team knows which numbers are safe to call. No guesswork. No switching between tools.
What the App Does
When you use the Validate Phone Numbers App, you get detailed information for every phone number you check. Here is what you will see inside Zoho CRM after validation:
- Whether the number is active or disconnected
- If it appears on any National or State Do-Not-Call list
- If the number has been flagged for past TCPA litigation
- The type of number: mobile, landline, or VOIP
- The current carrier is linked to that number
- The correct time zone for scheduling calls
- SMS email address for mobile numbers
All these details go straight into custom fields on the contact record. Your team does not need to copy and paste or go back and forth between systems. It all stays organized inside Zoho CRM.
Who Should Use the Phone Validation App in Zoho CRM
This app is designed for anyone who relies on phone numbers to connect with leads, clients, or prospects. If you use Zoho CRM for customer engagement, this tool can make your work easier and safer.
- Sales Teams
If your sales process involves calling prospects, you need to make sure the numbers work. Validating numbers saves time and helps your team focus on real opportunities instead of dialing bad numbers. - Marketing Teams
If you send SMS campaigns, accurate phone data is key. Invalid or wrong numbers can lead to failed campaigns and wasted budget. The app checks your contact list so you can deliver messages to active and reachable numbers. - Customer Support
When your team calls customers for support or follow-up, disconnected numbers can create frustration. Using this app keeps contact details current so your team can focus on solving problems instead of finding working numbers. - Compliance-Focused Businesses
Industries like finance, healthcare, and legal services must follow strict rules when contacting customers to follow TCPA Compliance regulations. The app flags numbers on Do-Not-Call lists and those with litigation history so you can avoid costly mistakes. - Lead Generation Companies
If your business depends on generating and qualifying leads through outbound calls, phone validation is critical. It ensures that only verified and accurate leads reach your clients, which improves trust, increases repeat business, and strengthens customer retention.
Built with Zoho Users in Mind
This app is not a general tool. It was designed for Zoho CRM users who want phone validation without extra steps. You do not need to open another platform or log into multiple accounts while working on your contacts.
You can choose which contacts to check by using any Public or Custom View. If a record has multiple phone fields, such as mobile, home, and work numbers, the app can validate them all in one go.
There is a dashboard that shows your usage in real time so you can track how often your team runs validations. You can use the app as often as you want. There are no contracts or minimum requirements. It works with your Searchbug account, and if you do not have one yet, creating an account is free.
How This Helps Your Team
Having the right information in your CRM saves more than time. It protects your business from unnecessary risks.
When a number is disconnected, your team knows right away and can update the contact or remove it. If a number shows up on a Do-Not-Call list, you avoid making that call and stay compliant. Time zone data makes it easier to plan outreach so you do not call too early or too late for the contact.
All of this happens without leaving Zoho CRM. Your workflow stays smooth and your records stay clean.
Why We Created This App
Many Zoho users told us they wanted an easy way to validate phone numbers without moving between different tools. Some were using spreadsheets and manual checks, which took a lot of time. Others had no system at all and were running into issues with bad numbers and compliance risks.
We built this app so you can handle validation where you already work. It is fast, accurate, and does not add complexity to your process.
