Use the IsMatch function to verify the format matches the pattern for an email address.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-ismatch

Here I set a flag to indicate I have a properly formatted email.
Set(ValidEmail, If(IsMatch(TextInput1.Text, Email ), true, false)))

It depends on when you want your validation to occur. If you want immediate feedback to the user at the point they enter the value, then you can put it in the On Change action of the TextInput control.

If you want to do all your validation at once when the user submits their entries, you can make it part of the On Select for a Submit (or other processing) button.

Hi,

It looks like LRV was able to answer your questions on how to add this functionality to PowerApps. I just wanted to add in a bit more information for learning here. Feel free to take a look.
