Hi there,

I want to put a link like "submit a help ticket" in an interface, when user click the link, then a outlook new email will be open, and have the default subject and recipient email address, I know it's easy to do it in the HTML like 

<a href="mailto:xxx@gmail.com?subject=yyy">help ticket</a>

but I dont know how to do it in Appian. could anyone here know how to do it?

Best regards,

L

Something like this:

a!localVariables(
  {
    a!richTextDisplayField(
      value: a!richTextIcon(
        icon: "ENVELOPE",
        size: "MEDIUM_PLUS",
        link: a!safeLink(
          uri: "mailto:xxx@gmail.com?subject=yyy",
          openLinkIn: "NEW_TAB"
        ),
        linkStyle: "STANDALONE"
      )
    )
  }
)
