Set up a MailTo link in a Text Editing Screen Add a MailTo Link to your Newsletter

A MailTo link is a type of active hyperlink that activates the default mail client on your visitor's computer for sending an e-mail.

For this to work, anyone that clicks on the mailto link has to have a default email client installed on their computer or mobile device (Apple Mail, Outlook, iPhone Mail App, etc.).

Clicking on a mailto link will open a new 'Compose Email' screen in the default email client.

Set up a MailTo link in a Text Editing Screen

from FASO Control Panel
access the editing screen you wish to add the MailTo link to
enter text, like:
Click Here to request more information about this event.
select/highlight Click Here
click the Insert/edit Link icon in small tool bar above the text box (looks like a chain link)

in the pop up box, for url, enter
mailto:your_email_address
(fill in your own email address)
click Insert
click Save Changes

When the user clicks on the mailto link, you can set it up so the email pre-populates the "Subject" field and a specific message in the content of the email.

Here's how. For the mailto link include the following:

mailto:your_email_address?subject=your SUBJECT goes here&body=your BODY TEXT goes here

Example: mailto:vincent@vincentvangoghcom?subject=Starry Night Exhibition&body=Please email the location and details for the Starry Night Exhibition. Thank you.

Above code does this:

Email: vincent@vincentvangoghcom
Subject: Starry Night Exhibition
Email Content: Please email the location and details for the Starry Night Exhibition. Thank you.
