Email input element in the Editor

Learn how the Email Input element works in the GetAccept Editor to collect and validate email addresses.

December 18, 2025

Overview

The Email Input element allows you to collect and validate email addresses in the GetAccept Editor. It ensures that email addresses entered by senders or recipients follow a valid format before a document can be sent or completed.

The Email Input element is available wherever form fields are supported in the editor.

What you can do with the Email Input element

With the Email Input element, you can:

• Collect email addresses from senders or recipients
• Assign the field to a specific user or role
• Require valid email input before proceeding
• Automatically validate email format
• Prefill email values using merge tags or CRM data

Email validation behavior

The Email Input element includes built-in email validation.

• Correctly formatted emails (for example, name@example.com) are accepted
• Incorrect formats are flagged as invalid
• Documents cannot be sent until invalid email entries are corrected

This helps prevent delivery issues caused by incorrect email addresses.

Required fields

Email input fields are required by default.

You can make the field optional by turning off the required setting if email input is not mandatory.

Using merge tags

You can use merge tags to automatically populate the Email Input field with existing email data.

This includes standard GetAccept merge tags and custom merge tags from CRM integrations.

Managing the field

Email input fields can be resized, moved, locked, or deleted as your document content changes.
