Contact Fields

Contact fields are purpose-built for storing communication and address information. Each field type includes appropriate validation and interactive behavior, so your team can reach out to contacts directly from the board with a single click.

Email​

The Email field stores email addresses with built-in format validation.

  • Value type: String (validated email format)
  • Default behavior: Accepts text input and validates that it follows the standard email format (e.g., [email protected]).
  • Typical uses: Contact email, customer email, team member email, support address.

When a valid email address is stored, clicking the cell opens your default email client with the address pre-filled in the "To" field, enabling instant click-to-compose behavior.

Phone​

The Phone field stores phone numbers as text, allowing any format your team prefers (international, local, with extensions, etc.).

  • Value type: String
  • Default behavior: Accepts text input for phone numbers in any format.
  • Typical uses: Office phone, mobile number, customer hotline, emergency contact.

On devices that support calling or messaging, clicking a Phone field triggers the system click-to-call action, making it easy to initiate a call directly from the board.

Website​

The Website field stores URLs with validation to ensure the value is a properly formatted web address.

  • Value type: String (validated URL format)
  • Default behavior: Accepts URL input and validates the format.
  • Typical uses: Company website, project link, portfolio URL, documentation page, social media profile.

Clicking a Website cell opens the URL in a new browser tab, providing click-to-open behavior. This makes it easy to jump from your board directly to external resources.

Location​

The Location field stores physical addresses or location descriptions as plain text.

  • Value type: String
  • Default behavior: Accepts free-form text input for any address or location description.
  • Typical uses: Office address, event venue, warehouse location, customer site, shipping destination.

Location fields store the value as text, so you can use any address format that makes sense for your team --- full postal addresses, city names, coordinates, or simple place descriptions.
