A better way to do this would be to integrate with your company active directory and validate that the user is indeed valid and not just rely on the format.

Why do you need to parse email addresses to do this? In a normal environment, all members of your organization would have an Appian user account and you would know that !?!?

Hi Yash,

you could use find() function, if it throws 0, then it is not in the text, if it throws any other position then it is correct.

Check the next example:

a!localVariables(
  local!value:"ashf@asd.com",
  local!value2: "ashf@abc.com",
  {
a!textField(
  value: local!value,
  validations: if(find("@abc.com", local!value) <> 0,
  "",
  "not correct email"
  )
),
a!textField(
  value: local!value2,
  validations: if(find("@abc.com", local!value2) <> 0,
  "",
  "not correct email"
  )
),
}
)

You can create a regular expression and use regexmatch function to validate the email address.
Example:

regexmatch(
  concat(
    "^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@",
    /*your organisation domain*/ "abc",
    "\.com$"
  ),
  "test.user@abc.com"
)

Use this validation in the textField to fulfil your requirement.
