It checks the address is well formed and takes the same placeholder, length, and pattern settings as a text field. Email is a single-line box that has to hold an email address. The respondent sees an @ mark in the empty box, and an address that is not well formed does not pass. It sits in the **Contact Info** group of the **Add Content** palette. ## Settings The card carries the [settings every field shares](/reference/forms/overview#settings-every-field-shares). Email adds the same four a text field has. * **Placeholder**, up to 255 characters, shown in the empty box. * **Minimum Length** and **Maximum Length**, counted in characters. * **Validation Pattern**, a regular expression the answer has to match, on top of the address check. The message a respondent sees when the address is malformed sits under **Validation** in [Languages and translations](/reference/forms/overview#localization), as **Invalid Email**. An Email field card showing Question, Description, Image, Placeholder, Minimum Length, Maximum Length, Validation Pattern, both auto replies, the three evaluator switches, and a footer reading Required, beside a preview showing an answer box with an @ mark ## What it stores Text, the address as the respondent typed it. ## Logic operators | Operator | Matches when | | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | has response | the respondent answered at all | | is equal to | the answer is exactly the value | | is not equal to | the answer is anything else | | starts with | the answer begins with the value | | ends with | the answer ends with the value | | contains | the value appears somewhere in the answer | | does not contain | the value appears nowhere in the answer | **ends with** is the useful one here. A rule reading `if email ends with @yourcompany.com` tells an internal respondent apart from an external one. The Logic tab with the operator picker open on an Email condition, listing has response, is equal to, is not equal to, starts with, ends with, contains, and does not contain ## Evaluation Switch **Criteria**, **Scoring**, or **Skills** on for the form in the [Evaluation tab](/reference/forms/evaluation/overview) and each one gets a switch on this card. An address rarely says anything about a candidate, so most forms leave all three off here. ## Related * [Form builder overview](/reference/forms/overview) covers the builder, the shared settings, and every field type. * [Logic](/reference/forms/logic) covers the operators, the branching patterns, and what to check when a rule does not fire. * [Phone Number](/reference/forms/fields/phone-number) and [Website](/reference/forms/fields/website) are the other two Contact Info fields. * [Short Text and Long Text](/reference/forms/fields/short-and-long-text) is the same box with no format check. ## Related topics - [Adding images to your emails](/apps/messaging/emails/adding-images-to-your-emails.md) - [Sending an email newsletter to your audience](/apps/messaging/emails/sending-an-email-newsletter-to-your-audience.md) - [How to add a CC or BCC to an email](/apps/messaging/emails/adding-cc-and-bcc-to-an-email.md) - [Setting up an email template in HireData](/apps/messaging/emails/setting-up-an-email-template-in-hiredata.md) - [How to verify a domain in HireData to send emails](/settings/domains/how-to-verify-a-domain-in-hiredata-to-send-emails.md)
