Only genuine emails
Respondents prove the address is theirs by entering a code, so you never collect emails that don't actually exist.
PersonalEmail Verification
Collect emails that are actually real
Ask respondents to confirm their address with a one-time code before their submission counts. Fake and mistyped emails never make it through — so every contact you collect is a real, reachable one.

Why verify emails
Only real addresses make it onto your list
A confirmation step at the source keeps fake, mistyped, and bot-generated emails out — so what you collect is clean and reachable from day one.
Fewer fake submissions
Bots and throwaway addresses can't pass the OTP step, so junk entries are filtered out before they reach your results.
Lower bounce rates
Verified addresses mean your emails actually land — protecting your sender reputation instead of bouncing back.
Reliable follow-ups
Receipts, reminders, and offers reach the right inbox because every address on the list has been confirmed.
No mistyped addresses
A single transposed letter usually goes unnoticed. Verification catches the typo while the respondent is still on the form.
Less list cleanup
Stop bad emails at submission and skip the recurring chore of scrubbing dead addresses out of your database.
How it works
From email field to verified in four steps
Email verification rides on any email field you already have — flip one toggle and Formester handles the OTP flow for you. No code required.
01
Turn on Email Confirmation
Click your form's email field, open the Advanced tab, and switch on Email Confirmation. That's the entire setup — no code, no extra service to connect.

Email Confirmation
02
Respondent enters their email
On your live form, the respondent fills in their email address just like any other field — nothing new for them to learn.
Email address

03
They confirm with the code
Formester emails a one-time OTP code to that address. The respondent types it straight back into the form — no leaving the page to chase a link.

Submission accepted
Once the code matches, the address is confirmed and the submission counts. Anyone who can't verify simply never lands in your results.
