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 that would open the learner's email app. I tried editing the embed link function in rise, but no matter what, it automatically appends "http://" in front of the "mailto:" link. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi Steve, I'm happy to lend a hand! Would you mind sending me the "Share" link to the Google Form? Thanks!
Hi Alyssa,
Here is the link from the Send > Embed HTML dialogue:
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe23_BMX-yCmrLXszVKIXelbnd-0dniY0_2xTcGid7U4uDKeQ/viewform?embedded=true" width="760" height="500" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>
Thanks!
Hi Steve,
Is this what you're looking for? This is the embed code I used in that Embed block:
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe23_BMX-yCmrLXszVKIXelbnd-0dniY0_2xTcGid7U4uDKeQ/viewform?embedded=true"></iframe>
Do you know why the link format you provided above is different from the one I received from the Send > Embed dialogue?
Hi Steve,
Looking at your link compared to Alyssa's I can see that it doesn't include the height and width attributes. I looked for the "Send - Embed" option that you mentioned and all I found on a google doc/form was the Publish - Embed option which gave me an embed code similar to Alyssa's.
Could you share more about the steps you went through to copy the embed code?
Sure, I took a Peek vid of the form and the process:

Hey Steve! Thank you!
That video was certainly helpful and I think I've identified the difference :)
We advise using this format when embedding:
<iframe src="Insert Your URL Here"></iframe>
and you'll use that in the URL/Embed lesson or the Embed block type.
So, that is what Alyssa shared above. When I follow the same steps you shared in your video, I get the size attributes as well and it fails.
So, you can either use the format above and insert the URL in that format or simply insert the URL into the Embed block as you can see in this quick video.
Hope that helps and clears up any confusion.
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!
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?
