Trying to create a form for an internal job board/send resume, but I need to have candidates email myself and their current manager their resume. Is there a way to have a new outlook email window pop up for them to send automatically? I read that adding “mailto:” in a URL makes an email a valid URL but that has not worked. 

Hi @lkraai Oh this is an interesting request. The mailto option would be the best option, I’m afraid. Where are you adding in this link? 

thanks for the reply. 

I was hoping that if i could hyperlink my email into the type form it might pull up a new email for them to send. like if {myemail.com} was clicked on it would pull up for them to send an email.

 

@lkraai  Yes you can embed your email address in a text, when you highlight the text you will see a link icon show up, click on it, them it will request for the address you want to link, them you put your email address and click enter.

Kindly try it out and let me know if this solves the problem.

@lkraai - i would suggest that you get them to submit the form first and then have the mailto link on the ending page - that way you would not get them ‘jumping out to email’ and then having to come back in complete the form. 

just a thought.

Thanks Emma, I entered text onto a form and highlighted it but no link icon appeared.
Any chance you could show a screenshot please?
