mailto not working with button
Imanh08 you can do this with an image web part. Add your image and in the Link field type mailto:address. It will add an https:// before it as you type:
Once you've entered the whole address just delete that https:// and click the Republish button. When you click the image Outlook will open.

RobElliott Hi Rob thanks for your help unfortunately its still not working for me. No idea why its not working with any of the web parts!
- Dec 19, 2022Guessing you're using Chrome?
It seems that chrome is having a bug with mailto, so that's the reason. 🙂
Try with Edge or Firefox etc.- Imanh08Dec 20, 2022Copper Contributor
NicolasKheirallah I was actually using Edge but I am in contact with Microsoft themselves to see what is happening.

What Edge version ? 🙂
You can clearly see it's an browser issue, if you press ctrl + the link, it will just open a tab to mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons instead of prompting you to open your email or opening a new email

Microsoft Power Automate Community Super User- Dec 19, 2022Well what version? I'm guessing an older version?
I'm tested it on Chrome: "108.0.5359.124" and it doesn't work there. Tested on multiple machines
Webpart works in edge: "108.0.1462.54" and Firefox: "107.0.1". Tested on multiple machines
