We’re excited to unveil our new Email Verification feature for the Forms and Surveys module! This upgrade enables participants to confirm their email addresses right within the form or survey, ensuring data accuracy and offering a smoother user experience.

Enter Verification Code: Users must enter this code back into the form or survey to verify their email address.

Verification Confirmation: Once the code is entered correctly, the email address is verified and marked accordingly in the submission data.
