Why Use Email Validation?

Formester

Avoid Fake Entries

Without checking, people can enter fake emails. This wastes your time and fills your list with useless contacts.

Formester

Reduce Spam

Bots and spam accounts often submit fake emails. This clogs your form entries. Validation helps filter them out.

Formester

Prevent Communication Issues

Mistyped emails mean people miss out on important updates, reminders, or offers. Validation catches these mistakes right away.

Formester

Lower Bounce Rates

Invalid emails bounce back when you try to contact them. This damages your email reputation, making it harder to reach real customers.

Formester

Save Time on Data Cleanup

A list with bad emails needs regular cleaning, which takes time. Validation keeps your list cleaner from the start.

Formester

Improve Trust and Engagement

When you validate emails, your messages go to the right people. This helps build trust and keeps users engaged.

How to Use the Email Verification Feature

Add an Email Field

To set up an email address verification you need an email field in the form or survey.

I'm migrating my forms from Paperform, where I've been a user for over 4 years. Loving the software so far! I've already replaced Paperform form embeds & popups on my sites & my husband's websites with Formester forms

I really enjoy Formester. It’s clean and straight-forward and it does well, what it is supposed to do.

Formester is simple enough for non-developers and sophisticated enough for developers. I'd say being able to choose between simplicity and complexity is one of this product's strengths. In addition, the founder is available to answer questions and doubts, which does not happen every day.

I was searching for a long time for a product I could use to send newsletters and surveys to my database. I tried so many different types of software and I found many of them difficult to use and slow to learn how to operate. But Formester was super easy to set up, and the usability is seamless! I highly recommend!

Formester is really easy to use and an exceptional alternative for Typeform. We use it for call for papers, lead registrations, feedback and surveys and it cannot be simpler.

FAQs

If the email is invalid, the form asks them to check the email format before submitting. This helps them easily fix any typos.

    It significantly reduces spam but can’t stop every instance. Pair it with other tools like CAPTCHA for even better security.

      Not much! Most users expect email validation and see it as a quality measure, making them more likely to trust your form.

        Validation checks that an email has the correct format and may be real. Verification goes a step further, confirming the email actually exists and is in use.
