How to make a mailto link

Enter the destination email, an optional subject, and an optional message, then copy the mailto link. When someone clicks it, their email app opens with everything filled in, so all they do is hit send.

Where a mailto link helps

Use it on a contact button, a support page, or in your bio so people can reach you in one click instead of copying an address. A pre-filled subject helps you sort incoming mail.
