Email Field

The email field collects email addresses with automatic format validation.

When to use

• Newsletter signups
• Account registration
• Any form requiring email communication

Settings

Label

Example: "Email Address", "Your Email", "Work Email"

Placeholder

Example: "john@example.com"

Help text. Consider adding privacy reassurance:

Example: "We'll never share your email with third parties."

Required

Almost always enabled for email fields.

Default value

Pre-fill for logged-in users:

{user_email}

Validation

Email fields automatically validate the format. Invalid emails show an error:

Please enter a valid email address.

Allowed domains

Restrict to specific domains (useful for business forms):

example.com, company.org

Submissions from other domains are rejected.

Blocked domains

Block disposable email services:

mailinator.com, tempmail.com, guerrillamail.com

Confirm email

Enable confirmation field that requires the user to enter their email twice. Reduces typos.

Reply-to integration

The email field integrates with email notifications. Set the email field as the Reply-To address:

1. Go to Form Settings → Email Notifications
2. Set Reply-To to the field ID (e.g., {email})

Now you can reply directly to form submitters.
