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?
May 19, 2015 at 11:37 pm #446773Hi!
Not exactly a theme question but check out the following:

JosueMay 19, 2015 at 11:40 pm #446776Well 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)

May 19, 2015 at 11:43 pm #446781Also what you wrote was not doing it through a button.
May 19, 2015 at 11:46 pm #446782No 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?
May 19, 2015 at 11:53 pm #446784Hey!
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!
JosueMay 20, 2015 at 12:14 am #446795Ok 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.
May 20, 2015 at 12:40 am #446817I 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):

JosueMay 20, 2015 at 12:55 am #446827That 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)

[Executive’s Title]May 20, 2015 at 1:09 am #446836Use:

Best regards,
JosueMay 20, 2015 at 1:17 am #446838I’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!

May 20, 2015 at 1:27 am #446841I think I may have figured it out.. Does this look right?

May 20, 2015 at 1:29 am #446842Yes, 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,
JosueMay 20, 2015 at 1:30 am #446843Thanks for your help. I think I finally found the right code recipe.
May 20, 2015 at 1:36 am #446846You are welcome, glad to help :)
