How do I insert a button with a Mailto link to my HTML message in MS Outlook?

Hi @epeschke 

Good question.

Please post screenshots with how you have it currently configured along with the encountered issue so we can have more context, thanks.

Thanks Troy for your reply. I posted earlier but must have done it wrong.

Two examples of the ‘<a href=“mailto:’ string inserted at the bottom
of an Outlook email used with Zapier.

Example #1 works correctly
Example #2 does not work when adding the <BUTTON> tags

Not sure if Outlook does not allow buttons to if the syntax is wrong…
Thanks for any help..

Here are some Google Search results on the topic of email buttons: https://www.google.com/search?q=email+html+button+tags

Hi @epeschke!

How are you getting on with this Zap, were you able to figure out the button? 

If you need some more help, could you let us know if you’re adding the html in the Zap editor and whether or not it works if you try the same thing directly in Outlook. Essentially, we need to work out if the trouble is the html code or how it’s being interpreted when it’s sent by the Zap. 

​I hope that's clear, please let me know if you have any questions!
