Configuring a button to open an email client

Hello,



I am trying to set up an action for a button in my email template. I want to create a "forward this email" button that opens up an email client when the user clicks it but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I can see that you can set up a text hyperlink that will open up an email to specific address, but that isn't quite what I'm after.



Does anybody know a way to do this?

Hello Evie,

What do you mean by "opens up an email client"? Do you want to create a similar button to the base one but in the template itself?

Hiya,



Yes, that's it – by email client I mean whatever the end user has on their desktop for opening emails. I want the button to act as a forward button as you have shown, so that when they click it it opens their emails automatically. Do you know if that can be done?



Thanks!

Evie Cobbin,

Please take a look at this conversation, I believe this is exactly what you need.

Dmytro Vovchenko,

Hiya,



Thanks for your help but I found the conversation in the link a bit confusing to be honest. I'm wondering if there is a bit of a simpler way to do it?



Thanks,

Evie
