Create an Email Hyperlink Using the Editor Widget Toolbar
Ensure that the Live Edit state is toggled to ON and navigate to your page:
On your page, click inside an existing Editor widget (or add an Editor Widget), then add and/or select the text that you intend to use for your link:
Click the Insert Link button in the toolbar:
Add your email address in the URL field of the Hyperlink Manager dialog box:
Note: You may add multiple email addresses to this field by adding a semicolon between each email address.
Click the Insert button:
To exit the Editor widget, click the Done Editing button:
Note: If you click out of the Editor without clicking the Done Editing button, a Save or Discard Changes pop-up will appear. Select Apply Changes to save:
Click the Save button:
Formatting Options for Manually Created Email Hyperlinks
Note: Be aware that these methods will not always work because email clients treat emails differently. We recommend creating an email group, or building a form in the form center that will send emails to multiple users. Then you can build a link to the form instead of to an email address.
To send to one email address:
To send to multiple email addresses use one of the following:
<a href="Mailto:[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]">
<Mailto:[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]>
CC (Carbon Copy) or BCC (Blind Carbon Copy):
<a href="mailto:[email protected][email protected]&[email protected]">
Set the subject line:
<a href="Mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Hello again">
Set the body:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Hello again&body=Body goes here">
Combining these options: If you want multiple elements, start with a ? (question mark) after your email address, then place an & (ampersand) between each of the sections
Example of Combining: <a href="mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=Hello Again&body=Body goes here">
Note:
Some mail clients will not support these combinations. So, you may have to choose one option after your email such as <a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Hello again.">
