Is there a way to verify the existence of an email address before sending the email ?
Hello,
Do you want to check if the email exists (is it a real email) or do you want to check if it is in some database table?

That’s not something you can do with Wappler. Maybe you can use some API/service to check this.
ok, thank you
The usual way to verify an address is genuine is to send an email when the user registers, containing a code/link that the user has to use to confirm the account.
If you just want to check that the email address follows the correct format, you can use the validation attribute of an input.

In summary:
If you want to check if the email is valid format you need to use a regex pattern or the built-in email validation.
If you want to check if the email exists and the user that inputs it has access to it you need to send a an email to that inbox with a confirmation link.
If you want to check if the email exists but you don’t know who has access to it you need to use an API service.
