Email Address

The Email Address field only accepts entries that are in a valid email format.

Tip: If an auto-reply email is set up for a form, the email will be sent to the first email address provided on the form.

Basic setup

In the Form Fields panel (left-hand side), click and drag the Email Address field onto your form.
Enter the question or name.
(Optional) Tick if answering this question is compulsory.
Save & Close.

Show advanced options

Advanced options provide additional controls and functionality as explained in the table below.

Option	Tick this if you want to…
Question (Label)	Show a different field label (instead of the field name) on the form. When a Question (Label) is specified, it will override the Question (Name) on your form. For example, you may want to: show multiple fields with the same question or label, or use internal field names for reporting purposes, but show user-friendly field labels on the form.
Hide the question (only show the answer box)	Only show the input field (without the question/name).
Default answer	Prefill the field with a default answer. Field short-codes can also be used to prefill dynamic values directly from responses to other fields within the form.
Placeholder	Provide an example of a response or required format to guide form users. The placeholder text will disappear when a value is typed in.
Further instructions	Display some informative text just below the field.
Answer Rules & Validation: Do not allow previously entered values	Ensure all answers to this question, across all responses for this form, are unique. For example, you may want to ensure form users only fill in your form once.
Read-only – don’t allow entry into this field	Lock a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as ‘today’s date’ or ‘customer ID’ that is pre-filled on the form and you don’t want form users to change it.
Hidden – don’t show this field on the online form	Hide a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as ‘today’s date’ or ‘customer ID’ that is pre-filled on the form and you don’t want form users to see it.
Show /hide this field with conditional logic	Hide this field until certain conditions/responses in other fields are met. To learn more, see Show/hide fields based on conditions.
