How do I make a clickable email link in HTML?

Asked on Sep 15, 2025

Answer

To create a clickable email link in HTML, you use the <a> tag with the mailto: protocol. This allows users to click the link and open their default email client to send an email.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <a href="mailto:example@example.com">Send Email</a>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->
Additional Comment:
  • The href attribute specifies the email address using the mailto: protocol.
  • You can include a subject or body text by adding parameters like ?subject=Your%20Subject.
  • Ensure the email address is valid to avoid errors when users try to send an email.
