FAQ
What is the difference between an email field and a text field?
- An email field checks the entered content against common email address formatting.
- After the entry is accepted, the address can appear as clickable content.
- A text field is mainly for general text entry and does not process the value as email data automatically.
Does clicking an email address send an email immediately?
- Clicking the email address opens your default mail app.
- The recipient address is filled in automatically.
- The message is not sent automatically. You still review and send it yourself.
Why did my email address not pass validation?
- Check whether the address includes
@. - Check whether the part after
@includes a complete domain such as.comor.cn. - Remove extra spaces or invalid characters, then enter the address again.
