# Submit an email

> Collect verified user emails by requiring participants to submit their email address and confirm it via a one-time code.

## What are Submit an email tasks?

The Submit an email task allows you to collect verified user emails by requiring participants to submit their email address and confirm it via a one-time code. This ensures that only real users with valid emails can complete the task and earn points.

Use Submit an email tasks to:

* **Grow your email list**: Capture verified user emails for future marketing or community engagement.
* **Gate access to features**: Require email submission before showing high-value tasks or content.
* **Validate users**: Add an extra verification step before rewarding points or tokens.

* **Completion points**: The base value users receive after completing the task. This is shown in the interface and tracked in your analytics.
* **Points multiplier (%) (optional)**: Increases the final reward by a set percentage. For example, if the reward is 100 and the multiplier is 5%, the user will receive 105 points.
* **Add Google Sign-in (optional)**: Enable to let users submit a verified email via Google OAuth.
* **Add Microsoft Sign-in (optional)**: Enable to let users submit a verified email via Microsoft OAuth.
* **Button text (optional)**: Enter the call-to-action label shown on the submit button (e.g., "Submit your email").
* **Don't ask for confirmation (optional)**: Enable to complete the task immediately after submission (no extra confirmation step). Disable to show a confirmation prompt before completion.

## How it looks to users

Once the task is live, users will see a simple form:

* A field prompting them to submit their email (with a placeholder such as e.g., [me@mail.com](mailto:me@mail.com))
* A Submit button (disabled until the user accepts the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy)
* A required checkbox for legal consent

After submitting their email:

1. The system sends a one-time code to the provided email address.
2. The user must enter this code to verify their submission.
3. Only after entering a valid code is the task marked as complete and points awarded.

This two-step verification ensures higher quality email capture and minimizes fake entries.
