- Can I add a mailto or callable link to my email?
Can I add a mailto or callable link to my email?
Yes. You can add mailto or tel (callable) links to your email.
mailto and tel links are not trackable within Taguchi, which means we can't report the number of clicks to a mailto/tel link.
Mailto link
Below are some examples of how to use mailto HTML tags:
<a href="mailto:email@example.com">Click here to email</a>
Adding a subject
Create a new message with the TO and SUBJECT filled out.
When you need to include spaces in the subject field, we recommend replacing spaces with "%20" to ensure it works effectively:
<a href="mailto:email@example.com?subject=Adding%20a%20heading">Click here to email</a>
Adding CC and BCC
Create a new message with the TO, SUBJECT, CC, and BCC field already filled out.
To enter multiple values for CC and BCC, simply add a coma to seperate them.
<a href="mailto:email@example.com?cc=primaryuser@example.com, secondaryuser@example.com&bcc=firstuser@example.com&subject=Adding%20a%20heading">Click here to email</a>
Adding Body Text
Include a body parameter into the list of parameters that are being used.
<a href="mailto:email@example.com?cc=primaryuser@example.com, secondaryuser@example.com&bcc=firstuser@example.com&subject=Adding%20a%20heading&body=Add-body-here">Click here to email</a>

Tel link
Frequently phones will automatically link phone numbers in an email but if that doesn't work, you can implement a tel:
link.
Below are examples of how to use tel HTML tags:
<a href="tel:012-345-6789">Click here to call Taguchi</a>
Adding a country code
Add "+ country code" on top and drop the ‘0’ if the area code or number begins with '0'.
i.e. Original phone number is "012-345-6789"
<a href="tel:+6112-345-6789">Click here to call Taguchi</a>
Adding an extension code
Adding p or ,(comma) + extension number at the end of the phone number will dial the number, wait for a second and then dial the extension.
i.e. Original phone number is "012-345-6789" and extension number is "123"
<a href="tel:0123-456-7890p123">Click here to call Taguchi</a>
<a href="tel:0123-456-7890,123">Click here to call Taguchi</a>
You can make it wait for the dial tone by changing p to w.
<a href="tel:0123-456-78902w123">Click here to call Taguchi</a>
Adding an extension code may not be supported by some mobile devices so please test throughly before you use this.
