Verifying Leads with emailed link?

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way to automatically verify that a lead email is valid.

My idea is to use a workflow to automatically email the registered email address a link that they would click. This link would then automatically update a custom field in the lead object titled "Verified".

Is a link like this a possibility? What would I need to do for this link?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

There are two possible ways to validate email address:

1) Use regular expression

2) Use lead validation rules

Refer following links for examples:
