How do you open a pre-addressed support email from Adalo?
Use a mailto link action to open the user’s native email app with your support address, subject, and optional message body prefilled.
Use a Link action to a Website URL beginning with mailto:, followed by the support address. Add URL-encoded subject and body parameters when you want the native email draft prefilled.
Use mailto when the user should send support mail from their own email account. Keep the action simple, encode optional fields, and test the result on actual target devices.
The intended outcome
Tapping Support opens the device’s email client with the recipient already filled in.
Requirements
- A support email address
- A button or other tappable component
- A device with an email client configured
Step by step
- 01
Add a Link action
Select the support button, add a Link action, and choose Website as the destination type.
- 02
Enter the mailto URL
Use mailto:support@example.com as the URL, replacing the address with the app’s support mailbox.
- 03
Prefill optional fields
Append ?subject= followed by an encoded subject and &body= followed by an encoded message body.
- 04
Test on real devices
Verify the link on iOS, Android, and web targets because available email clients differ.
The underlying logic
The mailto URL delegates message composition and sending to the user’s configured email client.
The app can prefill fields but cannot guarantee which client opens or that the user sends the draft.
What still needs checking?
- This is a forum-native answer with no original Adalocado video.
- Current Adalo documentation still prescribes a Website Link action with a mailto URL.
Common failure modes
Nothing opens
Confirm the device has an email client configured and test a simple mailto address before adding parameters.
The subject or body is cut off
URL-encode spaces, ampersands, question marks, line breaks, and other reserved characters.
