Scenario
You are using Exclaimer Cloud, and you would like to add a link in your signature template that, when clicked, a pre-defined subject line email is sent.
Resolution
NOTE: The steps described here assume that you have already created an email signature. For more information, see how you can create a signature.
To add a subject to a Mailto link:
- Open the required signature template within the Signature Designer.
- From the left-hand pane, drag the Contact {Fields} element into your signature design.
-
Click the
icon against all fields except the Email field.
Example:
-
Click OK to save the changes made.
NOTE: Alternatively, you can:
- Insert a text box into your signature template.
- Type { and select the required field. In this case, it will be {Email}. -
Now, select the Email field in the signature template, then from the right-hand side Properties pane, expand the Text section.
- Click ADD HYPERLINK. The Hyperlink window is displayed.
Hyperlink properties are used to apply a hyperlink to the selected element.
- In the Destination URL, if the desired hyperlink is already present in the template, you can simply edit it.
Example:
- In the Destination URL, enter the following code and include what is required for the subject line.
mailto:{Email}?Subject=
Example:
WARNING! When you enter your subject line, you will need to add spaces using the %20.Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL must be converted into a valid ASCII format. URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. URL encoding typically replaces a space with a plus (+) sign or with %20.
