    We have an account with you, not under my e-mail address, and we are wanting to know how to validate information that is submitted. We don't want people using Test or nowhere@aol.com, 123 getoutofmy way, Test TX . Is there a way to not allow users to enter in bogus information?

    Hello Clinton,

    Please note that though it is not possible to validate junk values in other text fields (name / normal textbox/ phone and others) but it is possible to validate the email address. Here are the options available:

    #1. You can disable the free email domains entry in email field by enabling the "Disallow Free Addresses" attribute. Please check the screenshot below:

    #2. You can take advantage of our "E-mail Validator" widget which will make sure that a valid email is used on your form through a pass-code verification process.

    Hope this helps.

    Do try out and get back to us if you have any questions.

    Thank you!
