I want to build a button in the Records Picker interface that public users can click on, and it pops up their email app with a specific subject. I know Airtable's HTML tag capabilities are limited but I want to embed something like this inside a button: 

"<a href="mailto:example@example.com?subject=Your%20Subject%20Here">Send Email</a>"

Above is what it looks like to the user, but when they click on the red button, it should open up an email with the subject line pre-filled with this keyword. The goal is to have our customer service inbox to filter emails with this keyword as high priority.

@opptcunysps

Yes, you can do that. Just start with the mailto: part of your link, and don't use any of the HTML tags.

So your Airtable formula would just be:


"mailto:example@example.com?subject=Your%20Subject%20Here"

Even easier would be:


ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT("mailto:example@example.com?subject=Your Subject Here")

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
