The Email input block allows you to ask your user for an email. It will check if it is properly formatted.

**Bot View:**

The retry message will be displayed whenever Zapbot detected that the email is not properly formatted.

It won't check if the email address is **valid**. To do that, you will have to trigger an [HTTP request block](https://edesy.in/docs/zapbot/integrations/http-request) and call an email validation service API.
