# Get the sign-up email default

> Which email new site accounts are registered with, or whether each new site asks.

* `signup_email`: `valendata` (the address Valendata provides), `own` (your connected Gmail / Outlook), or `null` — the question card asks, once per site.
* `auto_create_accounts`: the choice counts only while **Create accounts automatically** is on; `effective` is the choice used without asking, or `null`.
* `options`: the emails on offer right now, each with the `label` the card shows; `connect_url` when no Gmail / Outlook is connected.

Needs `account:read`. MCP tool: `get_signup_email`. See [When a site needs an account that does not exist yet](https://docs.valendata.com/concepts/logins-and-browser-profiles.md#when-a-site-needs-an-account-that-does-not-exist-yet).
