Hello everyone 😀

I have a question regarding my form. I have a form with 4 fields :

- Country
- Areas
- Level of experience
- Comments

When I submit my form, I would like in addition of these 4 fields, to automatically generate the email & the date of the day of the submitter in my destination table.

Do you know how to automatically generate email + date of the day ?

Thank you a lot !  
Théophile

On your form screen we need to add 2 components.

1. Current Date Time (This will automatically add the current timestamp to your table)

2. Signed in user email (If your users are signed in there should be a user profile column ‘email’)

In your destination table you’ll want to add 2 new columns to hold these new values.

You can use Special Values.

> **[Glide • User's email address](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/values/users-email-address)**

> Submit the user's email address automatically.

> **[Glide • Current Date/Time](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/values/current-date-time)**
>
> Submit the current date & time automatically.
