Email & domain field options
Email and domain fields have extra settings that help you collect cleaner, business-grade contact data.
Require a work email (block personal domains)
On an email field, enable Require a work email (block personal domains) to reject consumer providers. The helper text notes: "Rejects gmail.com, hotmail.com, outlook.com and other free/personal providers."
Domain fields have the equivalent Block personal/free domains checkbox. Use this when you only want to capture real company domains.
Lock email domain to a website field
When a form collects both a website/domain and an email, you can have respondents type only the part before the "@" and fill in the domain automatically.
- Add a domain field to the form (the respondent answers this first).
- Open the email field and set Lock email domain to website to that domain field.
The helper text notes: "Respondents type only the part before the '@'. The domain is filled in from the selected website field, which must be answered first." The @domain.com suffix is hidden and derived from the website answer, for example, if the website is acme.com, an entry of jane becomes jane@acme.com.
This option only appears once the form has at least one domain field.
Derive a domain from an email (the reverse)
You can also go the other way — collect an email and pull the domain out of it automatically. This is handy for linking a submission to a Company by its domain.
- Add an email field.
- Add a domain field and set its Default value to
{{email_addresses | domain}}(type{{in the default value box and pick the email field's "— domain" entry).
As the respondent types their email, the domain field pre-fills with just the domain (jane@acme.com → acme.com) and stays editable. The | domain piece is an answer-piping transform.
To then link the submission to the matching Company, point a Company record reference field's field mapping at that domain field, matching on domains.
Notes
- These options are validation and convenience settings, available on all plans.
- For a full validation gate on undeliverable addresses, see the email deliverability power-up.
