Adding an Email Input to a Form

How to add an email input to a form

The Email field checks that what you enter looks like a valid email address—for example, it makes sure there’s an @ symbol and something like .com or .org after it. This helps prevent typos and ensures the format is correct. However, it does not check if the email address is real or spelled correctly.

If you enter an email in the wrong format, a message will appear to let you know.

Just because there’s an Email field on a form doesn’t mean the form will automatically be sent to that address. If you want the form to be sent to the email address entered, you’ll need to add the Email field as a merge field in the To or Bcc section when sending the form.

If you're using the field just to collect email addresses and don’t need the form to be emailed to that address, don’t add it as a merge field in the Email for window.
