# Recipient Email Place

> Automatically insert the recipient's email address at a specific location in the document

A **recipient email place** inserts the email address of the recipient identified by `recipient_key` at a specific location in the document. The value is inserted automatically and does not require any action from the recipient.

You can position recipient email places using either [placeholders](/docs/api/resources/places/positioning/#placeholders) or [fixed positions](/docs/api/resources/places/positioning/#fixed-positions).

## Font Size

Use `font_size` to control the size of the inserted text in points (1/72 inch). Must be between 1 and 144. Defaults to 12.
