Desired behavior:

  • Auto-fill a short subject line.
  • Set a specific recipient (preassigned email address).

I have designed a marketing email with a button to RSVP to an event.What I want to do is..

When a customer clicks this button I want a pre-formatted email to launch on their email app which they can send right away by clicking on “Send”

This email will have a short subject line. And I will receive it on a preassigned email address.

Is this possible?
