Can Webflow restrict sign-ups with @gmail.com email addresses?
Yes, Webflow has the ability to restrict sign-ups with specific email domains, including @gmail.com. This feature is particularly useful for websites or applications that want to limit sign-ups to users from specific email providers or organizations. Here's how you can configure this restriction in Webflow:
Access the Project Settings: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project settings for the website or application you want to configure the restriction for.
Open the Forms tab: In the Project settings, click on the Forms tab located in the left-hand side menu.
Access the Email Restrictions section: Scroll down to the Email Restrictions section and click on the "+ Add Restriction" button.
Specify the email domain: In the pop-up window, enter the email domain you want to restrict, in this case, "@gmail.com". You can add multiple email domains by repeating this step and entering each domain separately.
Save the changes: After adding the email domain restrictions, click the "Save Changes" button to apply the restrictions to the sign-up form.
By following these steps, any sign-ups attempted with email addresses from the restricted domains, such as @gmail.com, will be blocked, and the user will receive an error message indicating that sign-ups with that specific email domain are not allowed.
This feature provides website owners with control over who can sign up for their services, allowing them to cater exclusively to users from specific email providers or organizations.
Example Use Case:
Let's say you are building a website for an organization that only wants its employees to sign up using their corporate email addresses (@companyname.com). By adding the restriction for the domain "@companyname.com", you ensure that only employees with company email addresses can sign up, increasing the security and authenticity of the users accessing the website or application.
