Adding a Mailto Link in Canva

So, you want to add a mailto link in Canva? Great!

With this simple HTML trick, you can easily create a clickable email link that opens the user's default email client. Let's dive right into it.

First, open your Canva design and navigate to the text element where you want to add the mailto link. Double-click on the text element or select it and click on the "Edit text" button.

Now, let's add the HTML code for the mailto link. Inside the text element, type or paste the following code:

Make sure to replace "[email protected]" with your actual email address. This code creates an anchor tag () with an href attribute set to "mailto:[email protected]". The "mailto:" prefix tells browsers that clicking on this link should open the default email client.

To test if it works, click on the link in Canva. If everything is set up correctly, your default email client should open with a new message already addressed to [email protected].
