Validate provider access before scaling
EmailBison diagnostics can call upstream APIs and consume provider quota. GTM keeps those routes permission-scoped and rate-limited so operators can validate configuration without treating health-style permissions as enough for provider-backed checks.
Use MX and readiness checks together
MX diagnostics help identify provider-facing mailbox issues, but they do not replace SMTP readiness. Before export, operators still need inbox lifecycle status, SMTP and IMAP metadata, credential metadata, and recent smoke-test signals.
- Use MX checks for provider-specific diagnostics.
- Use SMTP readiness for export gating.
- Use seed placement for first-prospect launch evidence.
Normalize provider-specific data
EmailBison workflows can expose provider-specific response shapes and campaign analytics gaps. GTM should normalize customer-facing output so missing upstream data is clear without leaking raw provider payloads or internal errors.
