# Submit an email tasks

## What are Submit an email tasks?

The Submit an email task allows you to collect verified user emails by requiring participants to submit their email address and confirm it via a one-time code. This ensures that only real users with valid emails can complete the task and earn points.

Use Submit an email tasks to:

* Grow your email list: Capture verified user emails for future marketing or community engagement.
* Gate access to features: Require email submission before showing high-value tasks or content.
* Validate users: Add an extra verification step before rewarding points or tokens.

* Completion points: The base value users receive after completing the task. This is shown in the interface and tracked in your analytics.
* Points multiplier (%) (optional): Increases the final reward by a set percentage. For example, if the reward is 100 and the multiplier is 5%, the user will receive 105 points.

## How it looks to users

Once the task is live, users will see a simple form:

* A field prompting them to Submit your email (with a placeholder such as eg. <me@mail.com>)
* A Submit button (disabled until the user accepts the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy)
* A required checkbox for legal consent

After submitting their email:

1. The system sends a one-time code to the provided email address.
2. The user must enter this code to verify their submission.
3. Only after entering a valid code is the task marked as complete and points awarded.

This two-step verification ensures higher quality email capture and minimizes fake entries.
