Real-time validation for online forms with support for email, phone, and name fields

The Clearout Form Guard facilitates seamless real-time field validations on forms. Form Guard allows you to quickly collect all valid leads while visitors fill out forms, helping to prevent missed chances and stopping fake leads from getting into your CRM (Customer Relationship Management system) and keeping setup easy even for non-developers.

Supported Form Field Validators

Form Fields	Description
Email	Validates email addresses for deliverability status and identifies business, disposable, role, and gibberish addresses.
Phone	Validates phone numbers of all types for correct format, length, and structure.
Name	Validates a given name for gibberish, special characters, or numbers and disallows submission if found invalid.

Create Your Form Guard

To create and configure a Form Guard, follow these steps using Clearout's Form Guard Creation Wizard:

1

Navigate to the Form Guard.​

2

Click on Create Guard

You can provide the guard a meaningful name and description. This will reveal credit usage across guards. It also lets you categorize lead sources by guard name to see activity breakdown on the activities page.

3

Follow the step-by-step wizard to configure your Form Guard

Here, you can decide which of your form's fields need to be validated. You can also take into account advanced settings to stop submissions that are fake or from bots.

4

Generate a Form Guard code snippet.

Once you configure the field-level validation and advanced settings, Form Guard will produce a JavaScript code snippet that you can embed into your form. This code snippet will validate each form input in real time, preventing bad lead data from entering your CRM.

Form Guard Live Demos
