Email Links
One click to compose
Create short links that open a pre-filled email draft in your visitor's email client.
What it does
An email link uses mailto: as the destination, so when someone clicks your short link, their email client opens with a new draft pre-addressed to the recipient you specified. You can optionally include a subject line and body text.
Try it — type an email address
Email address
Subject (optional)
Destination URL
When this is useful
Business cards and print materials
Put a clean link like nimble.li/contact on your business card instead of printing a raw email address. It looks better and you get click tracking — you can see how many people actually used it.
Support and feedback buttons
Create a link that opens a draft to your support inbox with a pre-filled subject like "Support request." Share it in your app, website footer, or documentation. If you change support addresses later, update the link instead of updating every place it's referenced.
QR codes for physical spaces
Print a QR code on a flyer, poster, or product packaging that lets people email you in one scan. No typing, no copying — just scan and send.
Newsletters and email signatures
Add a "Reply to us" or "Send feedback" link in your emails. The mailto: destination means it opens a new compose window directly, even on mobile.
Pre-filling subject and body
You can include a subject line and body text in the mailto: URL:
mailto:support@example.com?subject=Question&body=Hi%20there
When someone clicks the link, their email client opens with those fields already filled in.
Other contact schemes
The same approach works for phone calls and text messages:
tel:+1234567890— Opens the phone dialersms:+1234567890— Opens a text message
These work well on QR codes and printed materials. For more on non-HTTP schemes, see the Deep Links guide.
To create an email link, pick any tool and use a mailto: URL as the destination.
