    Hi,
    I recommend using the integration object. Please refer to the below documentation:

    You can create a process model to invoke your integration by passing the required inputs (email addresses in your case). Retrieve the resulting IDs from the output tab. Upon successful execution of the integration, write the output email IDs to your table.

    Hi,

    To achieve this,use integration to communicate with an external system. Send your request body (input parameters) to the external system and receive the correct response if all the email addresses are correct. Retrieve the results from the output section and store them in the Appian database using write smart services.

      Hello,

      You can store employee IDs as text type and later cast it to integer whenever you need to use it.
