Email Link Generator Guide
Reference for creating mailto links for contact buttons, support links, documentation pages, and static sites.
Quick answer
Use Email Link Generator when a static page, docs site, footer, or support page needs a mailto link with a subject or body template.
What this tool does
The tool builds a mailto URL and helps encode subject/body text so the link works better in HTML, Markdown, or CMS fields.
Supported input
- Recipient email address
- Subject line
- Optional body text
- Simple support or contact templates
Step-by-step use
- Enter the recipient address.
- Add a clear subject.
- Add optional body text.
- Generate the mailto link.
- Test it in the target browser and email client.
Data handling and processing behavior
Processing is handled in the browser for this tool based on the current public implementation. Avoid entering private support templates unless you have reviewed the implementation.
Limits
- Mailto behavior depends on the user's configured email client.
- Long body templates may fail or be truncated.
- Public email links can attract spam.
Review example
For a static support page, generate the mailto link with a short subject such as "Bug report for docs page" and a body that asks for the page URL and expected behavior. Test the link in the final rendered page, not only in the generator, because Markdown, CMS fields, and HTML attributes can encode ampersands and line breaks differently.
Common errors
Skipping URL encoding. Spaces and special characters need encoding.
Making the body too long. Keep mailto body text short.
Assuming every user has an email client configured. Provide visible contact text as a fallback.
