How to identify the browser in use?

I would like to identify the browser in use, to adapt my use case to it.

Indeed, I have to (as per user requirements, I sware I tried not to) use a mailto, and Chrome is tremendously limited (less than 700 characters when sending to Outlook). So if Chrome is in use, I want to make the minimal email message.

How can I know from the user interface, which browser is accessing my app?

Thanks!

I do not know of a way to detect the browser. And relying on the capabilities of mailto-handling is something I would not do.

    I'm not sure it's worth doing the mailto logic IMO. Might as well just have the form and send the email vis Appian.

    But in any case, you could always try using the Log Reader plugin to get it from the login-audit.csv.

    I need my interface to know what browser is opening it. Not sure how I can acces log information in real time.
