# Sending email addresses to Nosto

In this article, you will learn how to collect email addresses from other sources. If you have implemented the customer tagging, Nosto will automatically collect the information for logged-in users. For all other scenarios, you will need to use our Javascript API to push the customer information to us:

## Collecting email addresses from a form field

If your website has a form field that accepts email address, you can [collect customer information using our JS API](/techdocs/apis/frontend/js-apis/common-examples/sending-customer-information.md). A more simplified way would be to add the class `nosto_email_capture` to any email field on the page whose addresses need to be captured. Having done that, include the following snippet into your site.

The jQuery based script below binds every `input` field with the class `nosto_email_capture` and submits the collected information to Nosto when the parent form is submitted.

```javascript
jQuery("form input.nosto_email_capture").each((idx, input) => {
    if (!input.form) {
        return;
    }
    input.form.onsubmit = event => {
        var email = input.value;
        if (email) {
            // Push customer information to current visit
            nostojs(api => {
                console.log("Collecting email " + email);
                api.customer({email: email});
            });
        } else {
            console.log("No email specified");
        }
    }
});
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nosto.com/techdocs/apis/frontend/js-apis/common-examples/sending-email-addresses-to-nosto.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
