Hi,
It would be great to have a new property type to collect email addresses with the requirements matching those of the ‘Email’ property on contact records.
I’d like to have a property on Deals called ‘billing contact email’.
Using a workflow, I’d then create a contact with that email and associate the contact to the deal with the association label, ‘Billing Contact’.
The workflow fails if a space is entered after the email address.
Hey @LBouchet1
The email property at contact level is a simple text field, that happens to contain an email address.
Everything you described is possible with workflows. Not sure what you mean by “The workflow fails if a space is entered after the email address.”? Do you want it to fail (if so why?). You could simply say if there is no ‘billing contact email’ at deal level, don’t run the workflow.

Hi @franksteiner79,
The workflow I made uses the value from a deal property ‘billing contact
email’ to create a contact and associate it to the deal with association
label ‘billing contact’. This workflow fails if there is a space entered
after the email address property (or if the email is invalid in any other
way).
That’s why I would like a new property type that requires a valid email
address.
This has now been solved with the addition of regex validation.
^[a-z0-9._%±]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,}$
Hello Community members,
I’m happy to share this is currently in public beta. You can learn more and join the beta using this link.
Please note that the new Email property field type is currently available for custom properties. Default properties are not yet supported (we’re working on this).
Thank you!

Thanks @JeannieN !
Would be nice to be able to add multible emails in one email property.
