Can I create a hyperlink by combining text strings and fielded data? Pretty basic parameter work

James Keuning

I have fields:

email:

subject:

body:

I want to use this hyperlink to open an email with those parameters:

<a href="mailto:myemail@email.com?subject=This is a subject. You can't use certain characters in here. But we should be able to control that.!&body=Here is the body. Same problem with special characters.">Link to send an email</a>

This can be formed with this formula:

="<a href=" + "\"" + "mailto:" + email@row + "?subject=" + subject@row + "!&body=" + body@row + "\"" + ">Link to send an email</a>"

edit: is it possible that I cannot insert a hyperlink on this forum? I can insert an emoji, a picture, media, and a file attachment. But no hyperlink?

Hi @James Keuning

I developed a client solution recently where they click on an alert to send their client an email from their mobile phone, like a mobile-specific CRM.

It would look something like this.

mailto:{{Email}}?subject=Subject%20line%20information&body=PasteHere

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
