How to block form submissions from free email domains

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.griduk.com/contact

I want to be able to put an email validation check into my forms so that I can ensure any form submissions are from work email addresses and not '@gmail.com' etc.

How can I do this? I assume I will need some custom code to place in the code injector within Squarespace's back end?

It is possible to block selected domains with some JavaScript, added through Code Injection. The exact code will depend on the specifics of the form and the addresses that you want to block. The list of free email domains is long and constantly changing so it will be difficult to "block form submissions from free email domains" as you asked in your question.

Can you explain WHY you want to block these? There may be better ways to achieve your required outcome.
