Block visitors from submitting a HubSpot form if they enter an email address using a free email provider or a specific email domain. Blocking free email providers, such as Gmail or Yahoo, can help limit form submissions to business contacts. Blocking specific email domains can help reduce spam or unwanted form submissions. When a visitor enters a blocked domain in the Email form field, they'll be prompted to enter a different email address before they can submit the form.
Blocked email domains are configured on each individual form.
Permissions required Edit forms permissions are required to create and edit forms.
