Get value of email input field

Function: Get value of email input field​

This function helps you capture the email address that a user has entered into a specific email input field on your application's form. It then stores this email address into a variable so you can use it in other parts of your application, like sending a confirmation email or saving it to a database.

Input​

  • UI element: This is the specific email input field on your form from which you want to retrieve the entered email address. You must select a UI element that is specifically designed to accept email addresses (an "email-input-field" type).

Output​

  • Answer: This is the variable where the captured email address will be stored. You can then use this variable in subsequent actions or display it to the user. By default, this variable is named "EMAIL_FIELD_ANSWER".
