Set up a mailto link using Qlik Sense buttons

icoetzee — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 18:45:45 GMT

We're trying to make use of the mailto function to send emails in Sense using the Qlik Sense buttons.

Under the Actions and navigation tab we have selected the "Open a website or email" option as navigation, and using "mailto:someone@sony.com" as the Website URL. However, the email function does not seem to open outlook as expected and instead opens a blank page in the browser.

Have someone got the above working or should we be using a different URL? Please advice.

I had a similar problem this morning. I figured out that my Windows Settings did not have Outlook as my default email. Might be worth checking.

One more thing, I set mine up in a straight table as a field, so could be different, but my formula look like this ='MailTo:' &[Email Address Field].

Fyi, the syntax is to have // after the mailto:

='mailto://email@example.com'

Sept and onward will support the standard mailto link.

Thanks,

Patric

in regard to this 'mailto:'....

if i have a field of email addresses - is there a way for the button to mail the emails that are in scope from a selected filter?

for example, lets say i filtered on names containing 'E' - is there a button that would email all those addresses in one email when clicked
