Show info/description on fields in create contact form. Regex on field?

[hubsp]

Hi

Can I show the description in a tooltip of a property in the create forms?

See pic

Is it possible to require a format on the input. Something like regex?

Example: Phone inputfield has to start with the +-sign

Thanks

Hello @hubsp 

I was actually just looking this up! You can semi-validate phone numbers on form submissions. Here is the HubSpot Knowledgebase article.

The article explains that only common characters can be added natively. You can also restrict the number of characters (min-max), and prompt a country code for further validation! This will need to be done per form, however.

I also did a quick search and found an integration that looks like it will format for you for only $5 a month. Maybe someone will have some more ideas for specific integrations. We use an AMAZING VoIP service (Aloware) that formats the number for us and is highly integrated with HubSpot.

@hubsp - You can do just about anything with the forms, as long as you have some dev chops.

You can use the global javascript form events and listen for the form load, then attach custom events to a specific form input...

Here's a decent example of what something like that would look like. https://designers.hubspot.com/code-gallery/entry/founders/tim-belch-Material-Radios-for-HubSpot

This one is listening for the form to load then attaching material classes to the input fields right after form render. Your approach will be similar whether you find a jquery library to help with the regex or you write your own custom event like this one
