Address Validation Process

To update the addresses in your database and certify the addresses with the Coding Accuracy Support Standards (CASS) of the United States Postal Service (USPS) to ensure your mailings reach the intended recipients, you can integrate with a CASS-certified validation provider such as Satori. When you set up an address validation process, users can validate information as they add addresses for constituents. If the address entered is valid, the program automatically updates it accordingly. If the program cannot validate an address, such as when the address is incorrect or provides multiple possible matches, a message appears to ask whether to search for the correct address.

With the address validation process, you can use the service to validate multiple addresses at one time. To view and manage the address validation process for your organization, select the Address Validation tab.

After you configure the integration with your validation service, you can use Data Tune-Up to validate your address information and import and update your records with new information. You validate and retrieve information for a process from the process page. To access a process page, select the process in the grid and select Go to process on the action bar. For information about the items on the process page, see Address Validation Process Page.

Note: When users add constituent addresses, they can select to omit an address from the address validation process.

From the Address Validation tab, you can add and manage the address validation process for your organization.
