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

FieldDescription
Question textThe label (e.g., "Email address", "Work email")
PlaceholderHint text (e.g., "you@company.com")
RequiredWhether it must be filled
Default valuePre-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:

  1. Add an If-Else logic node before this question on the form canvas
  2. Set the condition based on a previous field's value
  3. Connect the True branch to this question (shows it)
  4. Connect the False branch past this question (skips it)

This lets you create dynamic forms where irrelevant questions are hidden.
