Validate/restrict email address domain in Contact record via js

Posted on by Joe Woltering 12,163

I want to restrict users from using our internal email domain as an email address in a Contact. This is so internal emails do not get tracked in the system as I have found no other efficient way of preventing this. I have come across a script online that I am trying to make work as an onsave event but am wondering if this has been tackled already in this forum.

    The updated script would look like:

    function Email_OnChange() {
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailaddress1").getValue() != null) {
        if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailaddress1").getValue().indexOf("@domain.com") !== -1) {
            alert("Invalid email");
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailaddress1").setValue(null);
        }
    }
}

    What I threw together first would have given an error if the script tried to run when the field value was empty - if you had a value and then deleted it. The ".indexOf" method assumes a value is present, if it would run against a null value there would be an error.

    Guido,

    Could you clarify what this means? better to check if the field has value or it will throw an error if you do indexOf of an empty field. Not quite sure I understand.

    I can't imagine someone typing domain.com@domain.com but sure, good to have it in there.

    Thanks!

    You could attach this script to the field's OnChange event to check:

    function Email_OnChange() {
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailaddress1").getValue().indexOf("domain.com") !== -1) {
        alert("Invalid email");
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailaddress1").setValue(null);
    }
}
