ID - CPF
The ID - CPF field stores Brazilian individual taxpayer registry identification numbers (CPF — Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas), the unique identifier issued by the Brazilian IRS to individuals. It validates the format to ensure consistent and accurate data entry across your records.
For instructions on how to access field types or how to add one, see Field Types.

- Enforce correct CPF formatting to prevent invalid entries
- Mark the field as required to make it mandatory on record creation
- Add a tooltip to guide users on how to fill in the field
- Use the stored CPF in automations, filters, and views for identity-related workflows
How to create an ID - CPF field
Step 1 — In table mode, click the "+" icon at the end of the table headers.
Step 2 — Select ID - CPF from the list of field types.
Step 3 — Set the field name and, if needed, toggle Required field to make it mandatory.
Step 4 — Click Create.
Use cases and examples
- Clients table — Store each client's CPF for identification, invoicing, and compliance requirements.
- Employees table — Keep employee CPF numbers organized for HR processes, payroll, and tax documentation.
- Suppliers table — Record the CPF of individual suppliers (MEI or self-employed) for contract and financial records.
Keep in mind
- The field is designed for CPF numbers only — it does not support CNPJ (company taxpayer registry) or foreign identification documents.
- It does not validate whether the CPF actually exists in the Brazilian IRS database — it only checks format correctness.
- It does not mask or hide the number for privacy purposes — the value is stored and displayed in plain text.
- It does not automatically generate or suggest CPF numbers.
FAQ
1- Can I use this field to store CNPJ numbers as well?
No. The ID - CPF field is specific to individual CPF numbers. For CNPJ, you would need to use a separate field type such as Text or a dedicated ID - CNPJ field if available.
2- Does the field validate whether the CPF is real or active?
No. The field checks that the number matches the CPF format, but it does not connect to any external registry to confirm whether the CPF is valid or belongs to a real person.
3- Can I make the ID - CPF field required?
Yes. When creating or editing the field, toggle the Required field option so users must fill it in before saving a record.
4- Can I use the CPF value in automations?
Yes. The stored CPF can be referenced in automation conditions and actions, such as filtering records, generating documents, or sending notifications that include the taxpayer number.
