# Overview

> Property types for text and string-shaped values.

## Text properties

Text properties hold string-shaped values. The plain
[Text](/data/properties/text/text) type is the default, but Custral ships
several specialized text types that add validation and unlock behavior, an
[Email](/data/properties/text/email) property is what lets inbound mail link to
the right record, and a [Phone](/data/properties/text/phone) property
normalizes numbers to E.164 so SMS and voice features can dial them.

Pick the most specific type that fits your data. The stricter the type, the
more Custral can do with it: validation on input, format-aware filtering, and
clean values for automations and AI.
