How To Create An Email Text Link

Learn how to add a link to your event website that opens a new email to the address you choose.

You create the link in a Text Element  column element, so guests can click your organization's email address to start a message.


  1. Insert a Text element into your event website. If a Text element already exists where you want to share the email link, you can edit that one instead.

  2. Type the email address you want to use, for example, someone@example.com.

  5. In the URL field, type mailto: followed by the email address you want to use. For example, mailto:someone@example.com.

  6. Click the Update button to save your changes.

Use mailto: in the URL

The key is to start the URL with mailto:. This tells the link to open a new email, instead of a web page, when someone clicks it.
