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.

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
