Shortening and Tracking Mailto Links 

A mailto link is a link that when clicked by a user, will open the user’s email client and fills the destination field with an email address you provide.

Linkly lets you shorten and track mailto links.

Mailto links are links of the form:

[email protected]

When these links are clicked, they open the user’s email client.

You can specify the:

  • ‘To’ email address
  • Subject
  • Body text
  1. Linkly will open up extra fields for emails.

    You can use https://mailtolink.me/ to generate elaborate mailto links and paste in the result.

    Type **mailto:** in the Destination field.
    Type mailto: in the Destination field.

Yes. When you create a mailto in Linkly, it will automatically open up a body field.

Is there a limit to how long a mailto body can be?

Yes. Bodies cannot be more than a few lines. Different browsers behave differently, but most will begin to strip URLs longer than 1000 characters.

Yes, Linkly will track the clicks on mailto links.

Can I track whether emails were sent?

Linkly cannot track whether someone actually sends an email, as browsers do not share this information.

With mailto links, you can:

Just type mailto: in the destination field and an email form will pop up.

Track 1000 monthly clicks with all features included.
