I would like to make an email active - meaning the user can click on it and open it up in Outlook. Is my only option to create a PowerApp of is there any easier way to set this up?

@ChristyRoach add a text web part to your page and just type in the link. Or add text and then select the link icon to enter the url. This will open a new email in the browser edition of Office 365 Outlook, not the desktop version.

Solution@ChristyRoachI've used both the Button and the Call to Action web parts to add an email link.
In the link, put "mailto:emailaddress"

I was trying to do the same thing and the field will not allow me to add an email address, I have https:// and it won't allow me type mailto:emailaddress over it.
Do you have any suggestions? @ChristyRoach

@martricedenson and @Rob Elliott: I ended up using the Call to Action webpart. You can see it in action at the bottom of this page. https://usbank.sharepoint.com/teams/SRC/SitePages/CCB-LIBOR-transition-support.aspx?csf=1&web=1&e=qC...

Add Button web part to the page and click edit the web part and name label and write the email.
