Outlook Email Templates

[Tercel Sandifer]

Hello

I wanted to know if there is an emailing capability within Confluence? I essentially want to create a macro that when the button is clicked it pops up a window in Outlook with the pre-populated to/cc, body, and subject. 

The only thing that won't happen is it sending. For example: just in case certain parameters need to be updated, like a timestamp

Hi @Tercel Sandifer ,

you can do that using mailto html capabilities. Within a macroyou can create a mailto html link with certain fields prepopulated within your email.

Here you can find a simple guide about mailto https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26509787/mailto-with-multiple-cc-addresses

Hope this helps,

Thank you, I have tried this and it has worked. Is there any way to add a fully formatted body in this as well?

Hi @Tercel Sandifer ,

happy to hear that it helped you. You can add the body as well in your mailto command and add content in a formatted way using special characters. Please take in mind that each user can have its own mail client in html or plaint text so your format could not work for specific users.

Please, mark my previous answer as accepted ;)
