    In salesforce i would like to create a formula on the User object in the email field to auto fill using my custom formula. Is this possible?

    Hi Saurabh,

    You can populate the Formula field value to email field of User by using Process Builder.

    • Navigate Set up -> process builder -> new
    • Enter the process name and select "A record changes"
    • Specify the object name as User and select the start process as when a record is created or edited
    • Define the criteria and select No criteria -just execute the actions
    • In the field values, select field as Email and Type Reference. From the Value , search for the formula field name. i.e. National Email
    • Activate the process builder.
