Email
The Email element lets users enter an email address, with built-in email format validation.
Basic
Configure the element's fundamental properties.
Label
The label text displayed above or beside the field (depending on the Label position setting). It also:
- Identifies the field in the admin interface
- Displays as a heading in the form preview panel on the right
TIP
The Label is user-facing display text. Keep it concise and easy to understand.
Unique Name
Identifies this form element internally within the system. The name is auto-generated by default, but you can modify it as needed. Naming rules:
- May only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores
- Must start with a letter
This name references the field in email templates.
Unique Name vs Label
The Label is display text shown to users, while the Unique Name is the internal system identifier. For example, the Label could be "Your Email", while the Unique Name could be user_email.
Description
Explanatory text displayed beneath the field, providing help information so users know what to enter.
Placeholder
A short hint displayed in the field before the user enters input, describing the expected value. It disappears automatically once the user starts typing.
Placeholder vs Description
- Placeholder: Shown inside the input box, disappears after input. Best for short hints (e.g., "Please enter your email address")
- Description: Shown beneath the input box, always visible. Best for detailed explanations
Field icon
Add an icon to the input box to enhance the form's visual effect and user experience.
Validators
Validators check user input against a set of rules. The Email element has the Email validator added by default to ensure the user enters a valid email address format.
| Validator | Description |
|---|---|
| Required | Marks the field as required, ensuring it has been filled in |
| Checks whether the value is a valid email address (added by default) | |
| Equals | Checks whether the value equals the specified string |
| Custom | Validates using a custom regular expression |
Styles
Configure the element's display style. These options override this element's style without affecting other elements.

- Inherit: Uses the global configuration in Form style settings
- Vertical: The label appears above the input box
- Horizontal: The label appears to the left of the input box
- Hidden: The label is not displayed
Icon position

Logic
Enable conditional logic
When enabled, you can configure rules to show or hide this element based on the user's input in other fields.
Rule match mode
After enabling conditional logic, first set the rule match mode:
- Match any condition (any): The element shows or hides as long as any one rule is satisfied
- Match all conditions (all): The element shows or hides only when all rules are satisfied
Configure rules
Each rule consists of three parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| Field | Select a target field from the dropdown (displays the field's Label) |
| Operator | The comparison condition |
| Value | The target value to compare against |
Supported operators
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| is | Triggers when the field value equals the specified value |
| is not | Triggers when the field value does not equal the specified value |
| is empty | Triggers when the field value is empty |
| is not empty | Triggers when the field value is not empty |
Add and manage rules
- Click the Add logic rule button to add a new rule
- Click the 🗑 button to the right of each rule to delete it
- Click the + button to add more match conditions
Example
Only show the "Email" field when the user selects "Email" for "Contact method":
- Match mode: Match any condition
- Field: Contact method
- Operator: is
- Value: Email
Data
Configure the element's default value and input behavior.
Default value
The field's default value. Pre-filled when the user opens the form.
Dynamic default value
When enabled, a Parameter name input box appears. Enter the name of a URL parameter, and the system reads that parameter's value from the URL and fills it into the field automatically.
For example, if you enter email in Parameter name, and the user visits the form at:
https://yoursite.com/contact?email=user@example.comthe field is automatically filled with the value user@example.com. If the URL has no email parameter, the field is empty (or uses the default value set in Default value).
Use cases
- Source tracking: Record which channel a user came from via URL parameters on different ad links
- Pre-fill form: Automatically bring in known user information when jumping from other pages
- A/B testing: Display different default values based on different URL parameters
Maximum length
The maximum number of characters allowed for input.
Read only
Makes the field read-only so the user cannot edit it. Suitable for displaying fixed information or pre-filling via a dynamic default value.
Show in email
Whether this field's value appears in the email notifications (enabled by default). When disabled, the field's value is not included in the submission email.
Advanced
Unique ID
The unique ID of the element, auto-generated by the system, read-only and not editable.
Filters
Filters pre-process input before the user submits. The Email element has the Trim filter added by default.
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Trim | Removes leading and trailing spaces from the value (added by default) |
Use in email notifications
The Email element's value can be used as a recipient variable in email notifications. For example, when sending a confirmation email to the form submitter, insert the Email field variable.
