  • 1.  How do i block new users from creating a new account with personal email ids?

    Posted 27 days ago

    I want new users to use their official email IDs when creating a new account to submit abstracts for an event. How do I do that?

    Hi Sangram, 

    Its not possible to restrict people from using personal email id's directly but you can do the following -

    You can use validations in custom questions

    • Question type: Email or Text

    • Question text:

      "Official / institutional email address"

    Add validations to the question

    • Must contain @

    • Must NOT contain:

      • @gmail.

      • @yahoo.

      • @hotmail.

      • @outlook.

    This works surprisingly well and is widely used.

    Second is you can add help text - Personal email IDs (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) are not accepted. Submissions using personal email addresses will be rejected.

    You can even set rules in review process.
