Adding and Setting Up the Add to XVerify Email Widget

Adding the XVerify Email widget to your form helps ensure every email address entered is valid. To get going, here’s what you’ll do:

1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.

2. Now, in the Form Elements menu, under the Widgets tab, search for XVerify Email and then click on it. Or, just drag and drop it to where you want it to be on your form.

3. Next, in the Widget Settings menu that opens on the right side of the page, set up these options:
   • API Key — Enter your XVerify API key—this is what links your widget to your XVerify account and lets it check emails instantly. Think of it as the little bridge working quietly in the background to make sure everything runs smoothly.
   • Placeholder — Add a simple hint inside the email field—like “Enter your email address.” It’s a gentle prompt that guides users so they instantly know what to type.
   • Allow Unknown Emails — Choose whether to let unknown emails pass through or block them, depending on what works best for your form.
4. Once you’re done, click on Update.

That’s it. You’ve successfully added and set up the XVerify Email widget to your form. Now, you have a field in your form that double-checks for typos or fake addresses in real time, giving users instant feedback if something’s not right—and helping you keep your contact list accurate and reliable.
