valid email address in textinput

[Vhutali]

how do I make sure the textinput field accepts only the valid email address? in a case where the a user needs to submit their details in order to be contacted there after

Use the IsMatch function to verify the format matches the pattern for an email address.

Here I set a flag to indicate I have a properly formatted email.
Set(ValidEmail, If(IsMatch(TextInput1.Text, Email ), true, false)))

Hi @LRVinNC

thanks for assisting  

on what property of the textinput should I put that formula?

[LRVinNC]

It depends on when you want your validation to occur.  If you want immediate feedback to the user at the point they enter the value, then you can put it in the On Change action of the TextInput control. 

If you want to do all your validation at once when the user submits their entries, you can make it part of the On Select for a Submit (or other processing) button.

Hi,

It looks like LRV was able to answer your questions on how to add this functionality to PowerApps. I just wanted to add in a bit more information for learning here. Feel free to take a look.
