Confluence 7.1.0 : mailto with an automatic subject

Nour Durra Nagarro January 17, 2020

I'd like to put a mailto link in a Contact Us button. I'd like to capture the Page Name as the email Subject in addition of course to the email address in the To, is there a variable to do so?

I am able to set the email address, but failing in finding the correct variable to set the subject

Hi @Nour Durra Nagarro,

you can indeed set the subject. You can even set a body, CC, or BCC. Example:

See this link for more info.

Best regards,

thanks Sven, but this will result in a static subject, what I need is a dynamic subject where the page title is displayed automatically, without being setup manually

Sorry, this wasn't clear to me from your question. This can be done with a simple user macro:

## @param Name:title=unused|type=string|desc=unused|hidden=true

<a href="mailto:no-one@snai1mai1.com?subject=$content.getTitle()">Contact Us</a>

Best regards,
Sven

this is perfect!! 

is there a possibility to display this as a button? or getting this macro as a URL to put it in a button? 

Am I asking too much? :D

Sure. You have full control of the HTML, you can do whatever you want. ;)

## @param Name:title=Name|type=string|desc=Your name|hidden=true

<form action="mailto:no-one@snai1mai1.com?subject=$content.getTitle()">
<button class="aui-button aui-button-primary" type="submit">Contact Us</a>
</form>
