Get value of email input field

Function: Get value of email input field​

This action helps you retrieve the email address that a user has entered into a specific email input field on your application's form. Once retrieved, this email address is stored in a variable, making it available for other actions or parts of your application to use.

Input​

  • UI element (PART): This is the specific email input field on your form from which you want to get the user's entered email address. You must select an existing "Email Input Field" component from your application's design. This input is required.

Output​

  • Answer (EMAIL): This is the name of the variable where the email address retrieved from the UI element will be stored. By default, this variable will be named EMAIL_FIELD_ANSWER, but you can change it to something more descriptive if needed. The stored value will be an email address.
