Database read to stop multiple requests

Question

Good day,​We have multiple contact forms on our website, that saves to one database.​What I would like to do is take one field say the telephone number field to check against. So if a client submit the form the first time it saves to the database as it does now, but then as soon as client submits a second form with the same number shortly after the form stops with a message we have already received a request with that telephone number today.​As far as I can gather it needs to be set up in a database read action, but I do not have clarity on how, can you please assist and point me in the right dirrection.​Thanks​Corne

Hi Corne,​In the form On Submit event you can use a Read Data action to check if the phone number is already registered; and follow that by an event switcher which stops the form processing and shows your message if the number is duplicated.​Bob
