Loqate Validation

Hello!

I have come across the validation service https://www.loqate.com/, It was very simple to set up on the landing page but I was just wondering if anyone had used this before?

The only problem I have found is that even if the validation works and says the email address is incorrect, the user can still submit the form. Wondered if anyone had come across a workaround for this.

Many thanks,

Great thread, as i’m facing the same problem as @weareleads.

@Arnold_Bailey thanks for your code, but where exactly do you add it ?
Is it on the link submited by @Hristian (here?)

thanks

This may help you. You can capture the “data” event from the Logate “pca” object.

var email_valid = false;
var mobile_valid = false;

//Capture PCA validation
pca.on("data", function(a,b,c){
  console.log('Data Event');
  if (a === "emailvalidation"){
    email_valid = (c===false) ? false : true;
  };
  if (a === "mobilevalidation"){
    mobile_valid = (c===false) ? false : true;
  };
  console.log('Email valid: ' + email_valid);
  console.log('Mobile valid: ' + mobile_valid);
});

The use the email_valid and mobile_valid semaphores to decide whether to submit or not.

Hi @weareleads,

You should take a look at this thread for more information on how to manipulate the default submit process.

Best,
Hristian
