Hi folks,
We are excited to announce that one of our most requested features has made it into Typeform, and is now available on all paid plans 🎉 (excluding legacy).
Answer validation with regular expressions (regex) means you can now set rules for information to be collected in a specific format. So if you are asking for official document numbers, IDs, IBANs or other important information, this is going to be a game changer!
You can add Answer validation to:
- Long text questions
- Short text questions
- Email questions
- Coming soon: Website questions 👀
You will find the option to toggle on this feature in the right hand panel:
If you need help creating a validation pattern, you can ask Typeform AI to generate it:
Add your regex pattern to the Answer validation field and test it out in preview mode to make sure it works. If someone enters an incorrect sequence, they will see a message asking them to input a valid format.
For full details on this new feature, check out the Help Center article here.
Let us know in the comments if you give it a try!
