Email Address
An email input field with automatic format validation. The field checks that the input matches standard email format (user@domain.tld) without any manual regex setup.
Configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Question text | The label (e.g., "Email address", "Work email") |
| Placeholder | Hint text (e.g., "you@company.com") |
| Required | Whether it must be filled |
| Default value | Pre-filled email |
Built-in validation
The Email field automatically validates:
- Contains
@symbol - Has a domain part after
@ - Has a valid TLD (top-level domain)
- No spaces or invalid characters
Invalid entries show an error message and prevent form submission.
Common uses
- Contact forms
- Newsletter signup
- Account registration
- Support ticket intake
Connecting to workflows
The email value is available as a workflow variable. Common patterns:
Form Submission → Send Email (confirmation to respondent's email)
Form Submission → Email Enrichment (look up contact from email)
Form Submission → Create CRM Record (store with email)
Note
The email field validates FORMAT, not whether the email address actually exists. Use the Email Enrichment node in a workflow if you need to verify the email is real.
Best practices
- Label clearly: write the question as the respondent would think about it, not your internal field name
- Use descriptions: add help text below the question for any field that might be ambiguous
- Set placeholders: show an example of the expected input format
- Mark required fields: only require what you genuinely need; optional fields increase completion rates
- Test on mobile: ensure the field is usable on small screens before publishing
Conditional visibility
This field can be shown or hidden based on previous answers:
- Add an If-Else logic node before this question on the form canvas
- Set the condition based on a previous field's value
- Connect the True branch to this question (shows it)
- Connect the False branch past this question (skips it)
This lets you create dynamic forms where irrelevant questions are hidden.
