Can a "mailto:" link be used within Rise?
I'm currently testing out and learning rise. In an introductory "lesson" we would like to show photos and contact info for staff. I would like to make the staff person's email address be a link tha...
I've been using the button feature but I'm seeing some odd behaviour.
I was trying to add mailto: code that would also populate the subject and body,
eg, mailto:person@email.com?subject=hello&body=This is some text.
It worked fine, the only problem is that I would get ?subject=hello at the end of the pre-populated body text as someone else described above.
I see above that manually entering subject and body is not supported. However, when I went back to JUST entering the email address, the ensuing email is still autopopulating my subject field with "hello" even that is no longer in the mailto code.
I've created a "clean" course to try and replicate this. You can see when you hover over the button, the mailto link that shows up at the bottom of the browser includes ?subject= even though I didn't include that.
Any ideas???
Hi Christina,
I just tried this out and it looks like the default subject line is appearing as expected (it shows the course title). There's not currently a way to change that.
When you click on the link, is that what you're seeing? If not, the quickest way to resolve this issue is to have our Support Team take a look. You can submit a case here.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
