Hi @Atchutaram . 

Create variable of type 'Email' 

 if that also not resolving your issue , create one single line text type variable and add validation regex as Email like  below

Hi @Atchutaram ,

If you are trying for any field or variable in catalog item then you can use validation regex,

If for a field inside table , then you can write onchange client script as below,

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    var mail = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,5})$/;
    if (!newValue.match(mail)) {
        alert('You have entered an invalid email address format! example: example@gmail.com' );
        g_form.clearValue('field_backend_name');

    }

}
