You can use JavaScript Validation to ensure the postal code standard field on contact profiles conforms to a certain pattern. For example, Canadian postal codes follow the pattern of LNL NLN Where L = a letter N = a number

Example: M5V 2H1

Steps

  1. Click on Global Settings
  2. Under User & Contact Settings, click on the hyperlink for User/Contact Standard Field Settings
  3. From the left-hand list of standard fields, click on the hyperlink for Zip / Postal Code
  4. In the Validation setting, enter isMatch(@value@, 'LNL NLN', true)
  5. Enter a Validation Message, such as "Postal Code must be in the format of 'A#A #A#', example: 'M5V 2H1'."
