Automatically filter and deny specific Email domains and require a corporate domain.

I would like have a setting that if someone tries to register for our webinars with a yahoo or gmail account, it will not let them register. I do it manually now, but wondering if there is a setting to make this more automatic.

@AshC @GlennD Great we're part way there, but is there more to come with this feature? I have more than 10 email domains permitted to join webinars, what I need is the ability to exclude some domains such as @yahoo or @gmail etc, as per the comment from @Brooke Browne.

Thanks!

@KEvents I will share your use case with the GoTo development team. We'll probably want to create a separate Community Idea for this purpose as well.

I would support this. Apart from anything else, if someone uses a private email address you don't know if they are a competitor checking out your solutions.

An alternative approach that some systems use is to allow you to apply your own rules against any form field so you can reject if email contains @gmail or @Hotmail, for example. You can then add your own error message such as "only business emails are accepted".

We are looking for specific, business-centric registrants for our webinars and we have integrated it directly with our CRM. We need to keep a clean list of leads and contacts, and find too many people registering with gmail and yahoo addresses.
There should be an option to exclude these email domains. Look at how ClickDimensions does it for their forms, it's just a simple radio button setting.
We can't even customize the label to include language like, 'Please provide business email address only.'

Same issue. Can we add a text either in the field or under the field to ask for business email address and not personal email address?

[UPDATE] This is now possible within the GoToWebinar platform!
