Sometimes I see a simple typo mistake such as: @gmial.com or @hotmail.con, yahoo.co.uj, etc.
Because of GDPR, we can’t correct the email address. The last thing I want is an ICO complaint by trying to be helpful.
A built-in basic validation for common email domain mistakes that flags it up with the user before submitting would help keep lists clean and help our customers.
+1Hello
That’s an excellent point — and you’re completely right to be cautious.
At the moment, Klaviyo doesn’t include built-in validation to detect small typos in email domains (like @gmial.com, @hotmail.con, or @yahoo.co.uj). These little mistakes happen often, and since GDPR prevents you from manually correcting them, they can easily lead to lost leads or undeliverable messages.
The good news is, there’s a simple and compliant workaround you can use today! 🎯
You can add a JavaScript validation script to your Klaviyo-embedded form that automatically checks for common domain typos and alerts the user before submission — giving them a chance to fix their email right away.
For example, if someone types @gmial.com, the form will show a friendly message like:
“Did you mean @gmail.com?”
This keeps your email list clean, improves deliverability, and stays 100% GDPR-safe since users correct their own details before submitting.
✅ In summary:
Klaviyo doesn’t yet have built-in typo detection.
You can easily add a short validation script to fix this.
It’s GDPR-friendly, helps users fix errors instantly, and keeps your list healthy.
