Possibility for custom field validation via filter

    I am looking for a way to use an external email validation for Kaliforms. Is there a filter that I can use for that? I was looking through the code, but I couldn’t find a way within the 20 apply_filter occurrences in the plugin code. Is there a section in the code where it is possible to add an apply_filter call to allow for external email validation?
    Thank you tons in advance and have a great day

    Hello @smings

    You can use the following filter to stop the execution of the form processing: ‘kaliforms_before_form_process’.

    An example for this would be the following code:

    add_filter('kaliforms_before_form_process', 'your_function_goes_here');
function your_function_goes_here($data)
{
    // Validate here
    // $validation = run your validation here
    if ($validation === false) {
        $data['admin_external_change'] = true;
        $data['admin_stop_execution']  = true;
        $data['admin_stop_reason'] = 'Validation failed';
    }    

    // Remember to return $data
    return $data;
}

    Let me know if this helped,
    Have a nice day
