Overview
The Email field is used to enter an email address. If you define a field to be of type Email, Zoho Creator checks if the data entered in the form for that field is a valid email-id, else it will display the error message "Enter a valid email address for <field name>" to the user. The email-id submitted through a form is displayed as a link in the view. When you click on the link, Zoho Creator opens your email client with a blank message addressed to the specified email address.
