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

mailto:support@example.com?subject=Question about my order

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 dialer
  • sms:+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.
