Advanced form validation

Advanced form validation prevents spam or bot submissions. You can apply multiple conditions to this feature. The conditions will dictate whether there’s an error in the entries or whether the entries are true. And depending on whether the conditions are met or not, the submission either proceeds or fails.

Double opt-in feature

When you enable the double opt-in feature, an email is sent automatically after a form submission to the email address provided in the form. After primary submission, the client receives a message to check their email to confirm their submission. The email asks the user to confirm their form submission by clicking a button. This feature prevents forms with fake email addresses from being submitted.
