    Is there a way in a text block (or elsewhere) to create a button that is a call to action. It would say “Email Now!” and then when you click it your email client is opened and it DOES NOT prefill the To CC or BCC fields but it DOES fill the subject line and the body with a preset message?

    Hi!

    Not exactly a theme question but check out the following:

    Well I didn’t know if there was a way to do it in the theme.

    i tried this in a text block and it doesn’t work. (see http://www.strengthinnumberscoaching.com/test/wellness)

    Also what you wrote was not doing it through a button.

    #446782

    No matter how much I tinker with the link you gave me it won’t do what I want (and it’s text based not a button). Any other ideas?

    #446784

    Hey!

    Have you tried with a smaller link first?

    mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?Subject=Financial%20Wellness&body=Here%20at%20%5BYour%20Company%5D%20we%20are%20considering
    

    Use a button element and put that in the URL field (manually setting).

    Cheers!
    Josue

    Ok as far as the button part goes I’ll try that

    Yes I tried a smaller link than that first and it worked. Not working with the full paragraph I need etc.

    I think you don’t have to put the %20 in the body part, i’ve just tested this on my install and it worked (at least for Gmail):

    That definitely helps a lot. How do I add line breaks in that code? The finished body of the email should look like this… (brackets optional)

    I’m getting closer. Here’s the code I used. It’s doing everything except the last two lines (Your Executive and Executive’s Title). I think maybe the comma after best regards is messing it up?

    BTW I never learned how to code. I’m learning all this on the fly. Thanks!

    I think I may have figured it out.. Does this look right?

    Yes, it’s the comma. Try using the ASCII version of it instead:

    & #044;
    

    That will work but note that this will be converted to an actual comma every time you open/close the button pop-up again.

    Best regards,
    Josue

    Thanks for your help. I think I finally found the right code recipe.
