How to add Cc, Bcc, Subject and Body to mailto: hyperlinks

Scenario

You are using Exclaimer Cloud, and within your signature, you would like to add additional information to your mailto: hyperlinks. For example, you need to Cc another email address and require a subject line to be added simultaneously.

Resolution

You can either:

• Add a Cc, Bcc or Subject
  
  
• Add a Cc and Subject

Add a Cc, Bcc or Subject

1. In Exclaimer Cloud, open the required signature template within the Signature Designer.
   
   
2. Insert a hyperlink into the signature template.
   
   
3. Add your mailto: prefix followed by the primary mailing address, or use the {Email} field within the product.
   
   
4. Add a ? at the end of the mailing address followed by one of these prefixes:
   
   - cc: Includes a Carbon copy (Cc) mailing address.
   
   - bcc: Includes a Blind carbon copy (Bcc) mailing address.
   
   - subject: Adds the text to the Subject field in the email.
   
   NOTE: If you use a Subject with spaces, replace the spaces with "%20" as the hyperlink is in HTML.
   - body: Adds the text to the Body of the email.
   
   NOTE: When using the body, ensure you use "%20" for spaces. You can also add returns in by using 2%0A".
   
5. Follow these with a "=" and the address required.

Adding a Cc and Subject

1. As described above, add a Cc to your mailto: hyperlink.
   
   
2. After the Cc add & (an Ampersand) followed by Subject=
   
   
3. Insert your Subject line as required.
   
   NOTE: If you use a Subject with spaces, replace the spaces with "%20" as the hyperlink is in HTML.
