Power-ups (data enrichments)

Power-ups are field-level add-ons that call an external service while a respondent fills out your form, verifying or enriching an answer, then optionally piping the result into another field or blocking submission. They use a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) model: you supply the provider API keys, and Dialed Forms runs the enrichment server-side.

Power-ups are in Alpha and available on Starter and above.

Available power-ups

Power-up	Attaches to	What it does
Email deliverability check	Email fields	Verifies whether a submitted email is deliverable using ZeroBounce or Findymail. Can pipe a "Deliverable" result into a checkbox and optionally block undeliverable submissions.
Census population lookup	Location fields	Looks up the US Census population (ACS5 dataset) for a location and returns the total population as a number you can map to another field.

More power-ups are added over time. Only power-ups compatible with a field's type appear in that field's editor.

Enabling power-ups

Power-ups are a workspace-wide beta opt-in with a two-step setup.

1. Opt in

Go to Settings → Early Access and enable Data Enrichments (Power-ups). This turns the feature on for your entire workspace.

2. Add your API keys

After opting in, a Data Enrichments card appears in Settings → Integrations. Add the keys for the providers you plan to use:

• US Census API key: free, from api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html (used by the census population power-up).
• ZeroBounce API key: used by the email deliverability power-up.
• Findymail API key: alternative provider for the email deliverability power-up.

Keys are stored encrypted. The interface only shows whether a key is set, never the value.

Adding a power-up to a field

1. Open a form in the builder and click a supported field (currently email or location).
2. Scroll to the Power-ups section in the field editor.
3. Click Add power-up and choose one from the list.
4. Configure its options in the card that appears.

Email deliverability options

• Provider: ZeroBounce (default) or Findymail.
• Block submission if undeliverable: when on, a failed check shows "This email address appears undeliverable" and prevents submission.
• Map "Deliverable" to: choose a checkbox field on the form to receive the true/false result.

If the provider is temporarily unavailable, the check fails silently; a provider outage never blocks a legitimate submission.

Plan & availability notes

• Power-ups require a paid plan. On the Free plan the Power-ups section shows "Power-ups require a paid plan."
• Because power-ups are BYOK, you are billed directly by the provider (ZeroBounce, Findymail, US Census) according to their pricing.
• Calendar scheduling is a related but separate capability; see Calendar scheduling.
