How to create compose mail link
To create a compose mail link, you can use the following format:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject&body=Body
Here's a breakdown of the components:
mailto
: This is the protocol used to open the default email client on the user's device.[email protected]
: This is the email address of the recipient.?subject=Subject
: This is the subject line of the email. You can replaceSubject
with the actual subject line you want to use.&body=Body
: This is the body of the email. You can replaceBody
with the actual text you want to include in the email.
For example, if you want to create a compose mail link to send an email to [email protected]
with the subject Hello
and the body This is a test email
, you would use the following code:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=This%20is%20a%20test%20email
Note that you need to URL-encode any special characters in the subject and body using the %
symbol. For example, if you want to include a space in the body, you would replace it with %20
.
You can also add additional parameters to the link to customize the email composition experience. For example:
cc
: This allows you to specify a carbon copy recipient. For example:mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=This%20is%20a%20test%20email&[email protected]
bcc
: This allows you to specify a blind carbon copy recipient. For example:mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=This%20is%20a%20test%20email&[email protected]
attachment
: This allows you to specify a file to attach to the email. For example:mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=This%20is%20a%20test%20email&attachment=file.txt
Here's an example of a compose mail link with multiple parameters:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=This%20is%20a%20test%20email&[email protected]&[email protected]&attachment=file.txt
Keep in mind that the availability of these parameters may vary depending on the email client and device being used.
