email link

Jennifer Parins

I want to add a link to an email on a dashboard. Which widget would I use for that? I am able to link a URL, but an email is not accepted.

I use https://is.gd/

This gives you a URL you can add to a widget on a dashboard, when clicked it opens a blank email to that person

Hi @Jennifer Parins

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Use a URL-shortener service that links to the email.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week & Happy New Year!

Best,

Due to my heavily regulated industry, I actually had to use the below format URL to successfully embed an Outlook Email Compose action. This works in the Metric and Shortcut Widgets on a Dashboard.

Email Provider => MS Outlook

https://outlook.office.com/?path=/mail/action/compose&to=name@domain.com
