電子郵件標記會使用電子郵件中的結構化資料。Gmail 支援 JSON-LD 和 微資料，您可以使用這兩種標記方式在電子郵件中標記資訊。這樣 Google 就能瞭解這些欄位，並為使用者提供相關搜尋結果、動作和資訊卡。舉例來說，如果電子郵件是關於活動預訂，您可能會想標註開始時間、地點、票數，以及所有其他定義預訂的資訊。
第一個標記
假設您負責向參與者寄送 Google I/O 2013 門票，並想在這些電子郵件中使用標記語意資訊。至少，支援單確認電子郵件會包含以下 HTML：
<html>
<body>
<p>
Dear John, thanks for booking your Google I/O ticket with us.
</p>
<p>
BOOKING DETAILS<br/>

</p>
</body>
</html>
標記這封電子郵件非常簡單。電子郵件內文中的相關資訊可透過結構化表單，以支援格式之一的格式新增至電子郵件 HTML 的 body 內。以下程式碼區塊顯示標記電子郵件的外觀：
JSON-LD
<html>
<body>
<script type="application/ld+json">
