Overview
This article will show you how to add an email hyperlink to a page.
Formatting Options for Mailto Link
To send to one email address:
To send to multiple email addresses:
- mailto:first@mail.com, second@mail.com, third@mail.com
OR - mailto:first@mail.com; second@mail.com; third@mail.com
- Note: Be aware that these methods will not always work because email clients treat emails differently, so you are better off creating an email group, or building a form in the form center that will email to multiple users. Then you can just build a link to the form instead of to an email address.
To CC or BCC:
- mailto:first@mail.com?cc=second@mail.com&bcc=third@mail.com
- Note: Be aware that these methods will not always work because email clients treat emails differently, so you are better off creating an email group, or building a form in the form center that will email to multiple users. Then you can just build a link to the form instead of an email address.
To set the subject line:
- mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again
To set the body:
- mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again&body=Body goes here
Combining these options:
- If you want multiple elements start with a ? after your email address, then place an & between each of the sections.
- mailto:first@mail.com?cc=second@mail.com&subject=Hello Again&body=Body goes here
- Note: Some mail clients will not support these combinations. So, you may have to choose one option after your email like mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again.
