Can a "mailto:" link be used within Rise?

Thanks Ramla for sharing that feedback! We keep track of all the requests and feedback to help our product team determine the priority of new features. They'll use that information as they look to planning our roadmap. Here's a bit more detail on how we do that! 

Just added this as a request for a development using the official process. A real shame that time frames can't be offered on this though.

Thanks Wayne for submitting that, and I'm sorry we're unable to offer a timeframe right now. As soon as we know if and when this will make our roadmap and be released, we'll let you know. 

Any progress on this?

Hello,

I was curious if there as been any progress on being able to add a mailto: hyperlink in Rise?  As a corporation with strict IT security standards, using a third party URL shortner is not a viable option.

Hi Amanda, Thomas and Mike,

No update to share yet - but I promise as soon as we have more information one of us will pop in here to let you know! You may also want to check out our Rise Version history page to see what other features have been added recently! 

I am also very keen to see this feature added and have just submitted a feature request.

Have there been any updates to the mailto links?

Neat idea. Works for some things but doesn't work for this purpose, unfortunately.

I have a workaround for this and other customization to the page code. It's not as easy as using the editor but it's definitely still easy. 

1) Add your mailto: link as you would a hyperlink.

2) Once added, right-click the hyperlink and select Inspect (in Chrome -- or equivalent in other browsers)

You'll see something like this:

3) Right click the a href=" line containing your mailto link and select edit attribute. You'll now be able to remove the "http://" from the front of that link. Close your inspect window and the change should stick on your page.  Here it is after a page refresh following a client side edit. 

The environment updates to the server live based on what's in your blocks. Since the inspector modifies this directly, your changes bypass the way the editor works. This will also allow you to add complex structures such as tables. It doesn't work here because there looks to be a filter on anchor elements that automatically adds in an http:// prefix.

+1 for the mailto "feature" :) the buttons are an alternative, but we would like to use this in a normal text too
