# Forminator

Are your online forms collecting leads that are temporary, disposable, gibberish, role-based, or mistyped? Upgrade the quality of leads by identifying and removing such invalid email addresses at the time of lead capture on your Forminator Forms with the help of the Clearout Email Validator Plugin.

There are two ways to integrate:

* Directly through Clearout WordPress Plugin
* Using Clearout **Form Guard** on the form

## Option 1: Integrate using Clearout WordPress Plugin <a href="#h0tiy" id="h0tiy"></a>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Log in** to your Clearout account, navigate to the ‘**Developer**’ section. Click on '**+Create API Token**,' add a name and description, then click **Create**.

You’ll see the API token. **Copy Clearout API Token**, then go back to your WordPress site.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Set up the Clearout Email Validator plugin. Go to your form **Settings** > **Clearout Email Validator** *(make sure you’ve activated the plugin)*, **paste** your Clearout API token.

Note: By default, the plugin will block role-based addresses and disposable addresses. You can allow either or both by choosing the checkboxes in the settings.&#x20;

You can also enable "**Accept only Business Address as valid**", which will override all the other settings.

That's all! When you test your form now, it will not accept invalid email addresses.

{% endstepper %}

## Option 2: Integrate Using Clearout Form Guard <a href="#j2wot" id="j2wot"></a>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Copy** the Clearout Form Guard snippet, move to the WordPress site → **All pages** section. **Select the form** where you want to embed the code.
