Powerful Features for Every Use Case

✅ Email Confirmation Field

Double-Entry Typo Prevention:
Add a second “Confirm Email” field where users must re-enter their email address. Prevents typos and ensures accurate email collection.

How It Works:

  • Primary email field appears first
  • “Confirm Email” field appears below
  • System validates both entries match
  • Visual feedback shows match status (green = match, red = mismatch)
  • Form won’t submit until emails match

Why Use Confirmation:

  • Prevents costly typos ([email protected] vs gmail.com)
  • Ensures deliverability of important emails
  • Reduces bounce rates
  • Professional best practice for critical forms
  • Users catch their own mistakes

Perfect For:

  • Account registration (password reset emails)
  • Order confirmations (receipt delivery)
  • Event registration (ticket emails)
  • Payment notifications
  • Any form where email accuracy is critical

User Experience:
Real-time validation with color-coded feedback. Users see immediately if emails match without waiting for form submission.

🏢 Domain Restriction

Whitelist Specific Email Domains:
Enable “Restrict Allowed Email Domains” to only accept emails from specific domains. Perfect for company-only forms, private registrations, or controlled access.

How It Works:

  • Enter allowed domains (one per line)
  • System validates email domain on submission
  • Only matching domains are accepted
  • Clear error messages for rejected domains

Common Use Cases:
Company Email Only:
Allow only `@yourcompany.com` emails for internal forms, employee surveys, or staff registrations.

Educational Institution:
Restrict to `@university.edu` for student-only forms, campus surveys, or academic registrations.

Multiple Partners:
Allow multiple domains like `company1.com`, `company2.com`, `partner3.com` for partner portals or B2B forms.

Verified Organizations:
Whitelist specific organizations for member-only content, exclusive offers, or verified access.

Examples:

  • Employee feedback: `yourcompany.com` only
  • Student portal: `school.edu`, `university.edu`
  • Partner registration: `partner1.com, partner2.com, partner3.com`
  • Member access: `org1.org, org2.org, nonprofit.org`

Benefits:

  • Ensures legitimate submissions
  • Prevents unauthorized access
  • Validates organizational affiliation
  • Reduces spam from public emails
  • Controls access to restricted forms

🔄 Browser Autocomplete

Faster Email Entry:
Enable “Allow Browser Suggestions” to let browsers suggest previously used email addresses. Users can select from saved emails with one click.

How It Works:
Browser recognizes email field
Suggests saved email addresses
User clicks suggestion to auto-fill
Instant form completion

Benefits:
Faster form completion (1 click vs typing)
Reduces typos (no manual entry)
Improves user experience
Higher completion rates
Especially helpful on mobile

Privacy-Friendly:
Users control what browsers save. Autocomplete respects browser privacy settings and user preferences.

When to Enable:
Contact forms (repeat visitors)
Newsletter signups (returning users)
Quick inquiry forms
Public forms with repeat usage

When to Disable:
Sensitive registrations
Shared computer scenarios
High-security forms

✉️ Built-In Email Validation

Automatic Format Checking:
Email fields include built-in HTML5 validation. Browsers automatically verify email format before submission.

Validation Rules:
Must contain `@` symbol
Must have text before `@` (username)
Must have domain after `@`
Must have valid domain extension (.com, .org, etc.)
No spaces or invalid characters

Real-Time Feedback:
Browsers show validation messages like “Please include ‘@’ in email address” or “Please enter email after ‘@’.”

Common Errors Caught:
Missing `@`: `useremailcom` ✗
Missing domain: `user@` ✗
Missing extension: `user@domain` ✗
Spaces: `user @email.com` ✗
Invalid characters: `user@@email.com` ✗

Valid Email Format:
`[email protected]`, `[email protected]`, `[email protected]` ✓

📝 Default Email Value

Pre-Fill Email Addresses:
Set a default email address that appears when the form loads. Useful for support emails, default contacts, or demo forms.

Use Cases:

  • Pre-fill support email for callback requests
  • Show example email format ([email protected])
  • Set known user email from database
  • Default contact for organization

Editable:
Users can easily change or replace the default value. It’s a starting point, not locked.
