Contact Field

The Contact Fields control provides all the necessary fields to collect a person’s contact information, including title, first name, last name, email, phone number, and mobile number.

Specific fields can be made required, which means they must contain a value before being able to save the form.

A mask can be applied to the phone number and mobile number fields to create a specific phone number format.

The text and icons that are displayed when the fields are empty can be overridden.

Buttons to send an email to the email address entered, and to send an SMS/call the phone numbers entered can be displayed.
