Required fields and validation
Make sure you get clean, usable answers the first time.
Click any field in the builder to open its settings. Toggle Required to stop the form being submitted without an answer.
Automatic format checks
- Email fields must contain a valid email address.
- Phone fields accept digits, spaces, +, - and brackets, and check a sensible length.
- Number fields reject letters.
- URL fields must be a valid web address.
Validation runs in the browser as people type, and again on our servers when the form is submitted — so bad data can't get through even if someone bypasses the page.
Help text
Add a description under any field label to explain what you want. A one-line example — 'Format: 10 digits, no country code' — usually removes the need for validation errors at all.
