Create reliable mailto links with subject, body, CC and BCC fields for websites, email signatures and campaigns.
Why mailto links still matter
A contact form is useful, but sometimes the fastest path is a simple click-to-email link. A mailto link generator helps you build a correctly formatted email link without memorising URL encoding rules or accidentally breaking spaces, ampersands and line breaks.
You can try it here: https://tools.triweb.com.au/en/mailto-link-generator. It is handy for landing pages, support pages, email signatures, documentation, invoices and internal dashboards where you want users to start a pre-addressed message quickly.
What a mailto link can include
A basic mailto link looks like <a href="mailto:support@example.com">Email support</a>. The useful part is that you can also pre-fill extra fields, such as a subject line or starter message.
- Recipient: the main email address the message should go to.
- Subject: a suggested subject like
Website enquiryorInvoice question. - Body: a short prompt that tells the sender what details to include.
- CC and BCC: optional copies for teams, account managers or records.
Real-world ways to use it
For customer support, you might generate a link that opens an email with the subject Support request and a body asking for an order number, browser and screenshot. For sales pages, you can pre-fill I would like a quote for... so prospects do not start from a blank message. For internal tools, a mailto link can route bug reports to the right team with consistent wording.
Tips for better email links
- Keep the pre-filled body short; long templates can feel intrusive.
- Use a clear link label such as Email the support team, not just “click here”.
- Test the link on desktop and mobile because mail apps handle mailto links differently.
- Do not use mailto links as your only contact option if users may be on shared or locked-down devices.
The generator saves time by encoding special characters for you, so the final link is cleaner, more reliable and ready to paste into HTML, CMS content or a signature editor.
