Hello
I have a form which accepts email from user. If the entered email is not in master list of emails, then form should highlight this to user and should not proceed with submitting form.
Please suggest if there are any direct / workarounds

Thanks

Airtable forms can’t prevent somebody from submitting a form based on whether their email is in a master list.

I would take a look at JotForm for that functionality. Check out the support article below:

Hey there, with our miniExtensions Form's login feature you can achieve exactly this. Essentially, your email master list would be a table with email addresses, each in their own record. You would then set up the miniExtensions Form to use the email as a login field, which means that each user would log in to the record associated with their email address in the master list table. From there, they can add any data you need to their record, or to other tables as well using linked record fields. By default, an error is shown when an email is entered that's not on the list, but you could also choose to let them create a new record in the master list table anyway! Our form also has some security features, like email verification (with a one-time code sent to the user's email when they try to log in) or additional login fields like passwords. There's a lot of functionality to discover!

You can try all of this out now by creating a free account! 🙂
