How does email validation work?
GenZform automatically checks that the email has a valid format (contains @, has a domain, no invalid characters). Users cannot submit the form until they enter a valid email.
Can I restrict to specific email domains?
Domain restriction is not currently supported. The email field validates format only (e.g., contains @, valid domain structure) but does not filter by specific domains.
Will I get notified when someone submits?
Yes, you can set up Email Notifications to get notified for each submission.
