An email address validator is something that checks to see if an email address is formatted properly. So for example, **[test@test.com](mailto:test@test.com)** would pass a validator while **[test.com](http://test.com)** would not because email addresses require the @ symbol.
In Thunkable, you could use an external validator such as a Javascript or you could create one using coding blocks. There are probably examples on the forums if you search.
