How do I link to my email address in a form?
### Using the Editor

You can link an email address in your forms. When this link is clicked, a new email will open in the submitter's default email application with the "To address" pre-filled.

For example, clicking [Contact us](mailto:support@paperform.co) will create a new email to send to support@paperform.co, using the `mailto:` attribute. To add an email link to your form, follow our step-by-step instructions below:

 1. Add some text to create your email link. For example, "Contact us."
 1. Highlight this text and select the link icon from the popup formatting bar.
 1. Enter "mailto:[your email address]" as the URL.
 1. Press Enter.

Voila! You're all set.
