# Enter an Email Address in Omniscripts

Enable users to enter an email address by adding the Email element to your Omniscript. Update the default allowable format with Validation Options.

If needed, update data validation options:

- In **Pattern**, enter a pattern to override the default allowable email format. Use simple pattern matching. Regular expressions (regex) are accepted. See [Regular Expressions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions).
- In **Pattern Error Text**, enter the message displayed if the input doesn’t match the expression in **Pattern**.

For additional properties, see [Common Omniscript Element Properties](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_common_omniscript_element_properties_definitions__10687.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Each Omniscript element has settings, some of which are unique to that element. Some settings are common among the elements, though some of these setting aren’t available in all elements. To edit these settings, use the Properties pane on the Designer.").
