# Email

> An RFC-compliant email address.

## Overview

A single email address with format validation. Use Email instead of Text when the value should be deliverable. Conversations and email tools rely on Email properties to match recipients to records.

## Configuration

| Setting         | What it does                                                                                             |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Force lowercase | Converts the address to lowercase when saved, so the same address is stored consistently. On by default. |

## What it stores

A single email address.

## Filtering

Equals, does not equal, contains, domain is, is empty, is not empty.

## Examples

A Contact's primary email is the canonical use. Custral matches inbound email to records by Email properties, without this type, automatic linking won't work.
