How Tomba Finds Email Addresses in Seconds
Ever wondered how Tomba manages to deliver professional email addresses almost instantly?
It’s the result of a smart combination of two powerful methods:
We Collect Publicly Available Professional Emails
Our web crawlers continuously scan the internet to gather public email addresses from a wide range of sources, including:
Blog posts and author bylines
Comments and forums
Company websites and contact pages
Publicly accessible files (PDF, XLS, etc.)
All collected emails are already available online we simply index them in our database to return relevant results quickly.
We Guess Emails Using Smart Algorithms
When no public data is found, we use intelligent algorithms to predict email addresses based on known company patterns (e.g., [email protected]).
We test these patterns by:
Matching them with the person’s name and domain
Validating the address
Assigning a confidence score from 0 to 100
Why an Email Might Not Be Found
Sometimes we’re unable to return an email. This can happen when:
The email doesn’t exist in our database (i.e., it was never publicly available)
The guessed email didn’t pass our internal checks or scored too low
We couldn't detect a valid pattern for that company
Always Improving
Finding valid emails can be challenging people change roles, domains evolve, and data becomes outdated. That’s why we continuously update and improve both our algorithms and database to provide the most accurate, real-time results possible.
Tomba is built to help you connect with confidence.
