Smart Validation

Available on all plans

Smart Validation can be configured for each individual Form Field and provides immediate feedback to users as they’re typing, to correct any mistakes made or fields missed.

Every form you create uses our Smart Validation to ensure the validity of your data, whilst providing a real-time and seamless experience for your form users.

The most common form of Smart Validation is making a field “required”, and all our form fields that capture data offer this by toggling a switch.

Let’s explore some of our Smart Validation features so you can see how best to use them!

Required Validation

Marking a form field as Required means the user must provide an answer to complete the form.

Here’s an example of the Text Field demonstrating the Required validation setting, enabled via a simple switch:

Even more advanced form fields such as the Like/Dislike Field support Required:

All Fields support the Required validation, and will not allow the user to proceed without capturing a valid input.

Min/Max Length Validation

Ensure users must enter a minimum, or maximum, number of characters into a field.

Here’s an example of the Text Field demonstrating the Min/Max Length validation settings:

The Text Field, Long Text Field, Telephone Field and Number Field all support Min Length and Max Length validation.
