Connect Forms to MS Outlook to populate email addresses?

asked on November 24, 2020

When users are entering email addresses into Forms (for notification purposes), sometimes they misspell the email address, or enter an email address outside of our Organization, which creates an error. 

 

Is there a way for Forms to connect to MS Outlook, to populate the correct email address as the user starts typing?  Adobe signature does this, but I'm not sure how it works.

 

Thanks!

We have a custom database table which was created from Active Directory which we use as an external table for forms.  This allows the user to select the correct user/email combo.  I'm unaware of a way to link forms to the Outlook address book.

Custom database is currently the way to go for this.

You might find this Answers post on Active Directory as a Forms Data Source a useful resource on implementing that approach.
