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):
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, as email clients handle 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:
<a href=”mailto:first@mail.com”>mailto:first@mail.com
To send to multiple email addresses, use one of the following:
<a href="Mailto:first@mail.com, second@mail.com, third@mail.com">
<Mailto:first@mail.com; second@mail.com; third@mail.com>
CC (Carbon Copy) or BCC (Blind Carbon Copy):
<a href="mailto:first@mail.com?cc=second@mail.com&bcc=third@mail.com">
Set the subject line:
<a href="Mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again">
Set the body:
<a href="mailto:someone@example.com?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
