If your Forms are B2B-only, you probably don't want leads coming in from someone's personal Gmail or Yahoo account. Act-On can block Form submissions from a list of well-known consumer email domains, so only company emails get through.
Why this matters: Filtering out consumer domains up front keeps your pipeline data clean, so sales isn't chasing personal email addresses that were never going to convert to a B2B deal.
Quick Reference (Advanced Users)
- Add the rule under a text field's Validation tab: IF Non-Consumer Email.
- Path: Content > Forms, edit the Form, select the field, then Validation > +.
- See the full list of blocked domains below.
