Is it possible to add a hyperlink to launch an Outlook template?
I would like to be able to do this too! Any ideas anyone?
Carolhosking You can do this by using the mailto: functionality, however you are limited to text only for the body of the email. For example, the link below when clicked on as a hyperlink opens Microsoft Outlook and creates the email like my image below.
Mailto:abc@xyz.com?Subject=Good Morning Email&body=Good morning, have a great day today%0dThank you.
- Super helpful, I have just been trying to work out how to do this! Thank you 🙂
- Awesome, it works for me.
Mwoehrle I am trying to use this atm and wondering if it is possible to change the format of the text eg. colour or making some of it bold ect.?
Caroline Bjellekjær Matthiassen It is not possible to add HTML or text styling (bold, italic, etc.) in mailto email body as mailto does not support using HTML or text formatting in email body.
You can find more information about limitations and possible hacks/workarounds in below threads:
- JSON formatting: make some words inside body text of email bold
- How do I pass HTML table inside mailto in anchor tag?
