Integrations · Convert Forms
Verified addresses and emails in your Joomla forms.
The RadarAddress plugin for Convert Forms completes the address while the visitor types, verifies it on submission and saves the outcome in the submission; it corrects a certain email typo and flags addresses that cannot receive. The submissions you already collected are checked in bulk. Registers of 26 countries; never a blocked submission.
What it does
- In the form·the street completes after two letters, postcode, city and province fill in on selection; a hand-typed address is checked when the visitor leaves the field
- On submission·the address is verified (without calling the service if the visitor picked it from the list) and normalized in the fields; the outcome and the verified form go into the submission, visible in the details, in the exports and in the smart tags
- The email·a certain typo (gmial.com → gmail.com) is corrected with the original kept; addresses that cannot receive or role mailboxes can be refused with a message, if you choose so
- In bulk·the submissions already collected for a form, with «skip those that already have an outcome», the progress and the report by outcome
Three examples, as they come out of the engine:
- via leopardi 4, 20100 milano→Via Giacomo Leopardi 4, 20123 MILANO MI · verified
- anna.rossi@gmial.com→anna.rossi@gmail.com · corrected
- via inesistente 999, milano→to check · the street is not in the municipality

How to try it, in three steps
Install the plugin
Download the package and install it from System → Install → Extensions; the plugin enables itself. It needs Convert Forms 5 or later.
Create the account and the token
The account is free, asks for no card and includes an allowance of operations every month: the token is created in one click and the steps are explained there.
Paste the token and map the fields
System → Plugins → «System - RadarAddress for Convert Forms»: paste the token, press «Verify and save», then in the «Field mapping» tab say for each form which field is street, postcode, city, province, country and email. Save: from then on the form suggests and verifies.
Requirements: Convert Forms 5 or later (the free one too), Joomla 4.4 or later, PHP 8.1 or later. Interface in the thirteen languages of the site. The code is published under the GPL licence.
The plugin sends RadarAddress the address and the email of the submissions of the forms you map: nothing else. The privacy policy and the Terms apply; data stays in the European Union and is not kept beyond the check.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with the free Convert Forms?
Yes: the plugin uses the events Convert Forms fires in every version, free and Pro. It needs Convert Forms 5 on Joomla 4, 5 or 6 (on Joomla 6 without the Backward Compatibility plugin).
Does it block the submission when the address is not found?
Never. The address is verified and, if recognized, normalized in the fields; if not, it stays as written and the outcome in the submission says «to review». Only the email can stop the submission, and only if you switch on the option for addresses that cannot receive or for role addresses.
Where do I see the outcome?
In the submission itself: when you save the field mapping the plugin adds a few hidden fields to the chosen forms (outcome, verified address, email outcome and original email), which appear in the submission details, in the exports and in the Convert Forms smart tags, so in the notification emails too.
How do I tell the plugin which fields are the address?
In the plugin settings, tab «Field mapping»: one row per form with the name of the Convert Forms field that holds street, postcode, city, province, country and email. The country can be a field of the form or a fixed value for the whole form.
What does it consume?
The plugin is free. One contact check is counted for every address verified (none if the visitor picked the address from the list) and one light check for every email. Every month the first 50 contact checks and the first 500 light checks are free; beyond that, the packs and subscriptions of the pricing page, from the plugin with one click.
Can I check the submissions I already have?
Yes, from the «Bulk check» tab of the settings: pick the form, the plugin sends the submissions to RadarAddress as a job and writes the outcome in each one, with «skip those that already have an outcome» so you don't pay for them again.
What if RadarAddress does not answer?
The form works as always: no message to the visitor, no submission blocked; the outcome says «not verified» and a notice appears in the administration.
