  • Prepare for Email Address Internationalization (EAI)
    Take these steps before activating Email Address Internationalization (EAI). Make sure that UTF-8 support exists throughout the email’s path, update your integrations to support Unicode characters, and adopt the latest API version. We also recommend that custom fields storing email addresses are of the Email field type.
