Opening E-Mail with Click on Button

[itecs]

Hi there,

is it possible to open an E-Mail when clicking on a button?

https://www.itecs-experts.com/bewerber/ --> click on Button “Jetzt bewerben” should open an E-Mail with the following information:

• to: yaw.boateng@itecs-experts.com
• subject: ITECS Experts – Referenznummer - Jobtitel
• text in E-Mail:
  Sehr geehrter Bewerber,
  bitte fügen Sie Anschreiben, Lebenslauf und Zeugnisse bei.
  Vielen Dank.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Hey @itecs,

Using the Button element, you have the option to set the to Email and the subject. Read on though as you will not use this because you need the Body (text in email) too.

Because there’s no option for email Body text, we will not use the Email and Subject field but instead, use the Custom Attributes under the Customize tab.

Now that you know about the Custom Attribute, you need to set up your own Mailto Configuration and you can learn that in this article: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/html/mailto-links/.

Your Custom Attribute setup should look like the following screenshot.

Hope that helps.

Hi Christian,

thanks so much for the detailed information, but I think that is cornerstone and we don’t use that. We use the WPBakery Page Builder.

Is there a way to to that here, too? If the body text doesn’t work, I would go with the rest of the information.

I just had a look into cornerstone - it seems to be very powerful and that you have many more design options as with the Page Builder. Is there a way to transfer all of our content to cornerstone? Because the different elements do not show? Or do I have to build the page again with cornerstone?

Hey @itecs,

The same goes for WPBakery Page Builder’s Button element or any other link. Insert the Mailto setup in the URL field.

By the way, the simpler way to set this up in the Button element of Cornerstone is to just insert the Mailto setup in the URL field like the following screenshot.

Hope that helps.
