Email addresses

Paula Cosentino

Is there a way to have an email address in a smartsheet cell be clickable to where it would open an outlook message?

Do you know if there is a way to do this? I need this!

If you are able to make their email a hyperlinked text field then you could use the mailto protocol to open in outlook.

<a href="mailto:ryan@dynamicduo.io">ryan@dynamicduo.io</a>

You could use some simple string concatenating to format the link.

Does this work for you?

Hi Allison,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment because the URL has to start with www or https , but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, you could use a URL shortener service to create a clickable link.

You could also send the email from Smartsheet. Is that an option?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Unfortunately, that won't work because the URL has to start with www or https.

Let me know if you find a way by not using a URL shortener service.
