Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Set value of email input field" action:

Example 1: Pre-filling a user's email on a profile update form​

Imagine you have a user profile page where users can update their information. When the page loads, you want to automatically display their current email address in the email input field.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: EmailInputField_UserEmail (the email input field on your profile update form)
    • Answer: [email protected] (this value would typically come from a database query that retrieves the logged-in user's email)
  • Result: The EmailInputField_UserEmail on the form will automatically display [email protected], allowing the user to see or modify their current email.

Example 2: Clearing an email field after submission or based on a condition​

You might have an optional contact email field in a feedback form. After the form is successfully submitted, or if a user decides they don't want to provide an email, you can clear the field.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: EmailInputField_Contact (the optional contact email field on your feedback form)
    • Answer: (leave this input empty)
  • Result: The EmailInputField_Contact on the form will be cleared, showing no email address.

Example 3: Dynamically setting a recipient email based on a selection​

Consider a notification setup where the recipient email changes based on a dropdown selection (e.g., "Send to Admin," "Send to Support").

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: EmailInputField_NotificationRecipient (the email input field where the recipient's email is shown)
    • Answer: [email protected] (this value would be set if the user selects "Send to Admin" from a dropdown)
  • Result: The EmailInputField_NotificationRecipient will automatically populate with [email protected], ensuring the notification is sent to the correct department.
