Email address should end with '@gmail.com' only.

[2022_ServiceNow]

Hi,

I have a requirement in the catalog form. The user is asked to mention the required email address. The variable type given here is 'Single Line Text'. So, I want the user to give the email address which ends with '@gmail.com' only and if that name is already taken, then it should say 'this email address is not available'.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks, in advance.

@2022_ServiceNow you can use catalog client script here on submit, 

var email_= g_form.getValue('variable name').split('@'):

If (email_[1]=='gmail.com){

g_form.addErrorMessage('your error message to display to user on form');

return false;

}

Hope this will help you.

Hello @2022_ServiceNow 

Where are you going to check if the email id has been already taken?

Validating a single line text ending with @gmail.com should be pretty simple. But how will you check if that email id is available or not?

Hi,

I tried validating it using '^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@gmail.com.com' but not able to attach it in the variable. There's no option available of validation regex. 

'@gmail.com' is an example. How about pointing it to the email address table and check whether it's available or not?

Hello @2022_ServiceNow 

Please refer to the below community posts.

You will get multiple client scripts that can be used to validate the email pattern string:

• How to validate Email field through Client script
• Email Validation script Required
• Email Validation for single line text field (Email ID)
• Is there a way to validate an email address
• Email validation client script (easy points)
  Now coming to the part where you need to validate if the email already exists or not.

  For this you need to write a script include, and call it via a glideajax in the client script.

  You can refer to the below post on how to write this script include:
