Hey buddy! So, listen up. I figured out this thing on Squarespace that is like, super easy but also kind of feels like rocket science sometimes. You wanna learn how to link a button to an email? It’s kinda like trying to teach a cat to fetch. But don’t worry, it’s actually not that hard.
Let’s dive into this wacky world of buttons and emails because, let’s be real, if you can master this technique, you might just become the coolest person at the next family gathering. And who doesn’t want that?
Let’s get this party started!
Step One: Find your Button
First things first, you gotta locate that button you wanna link. It’s like finding a remote in the couch cushions. But instead of crumbs, there’s a shiny button waiting for you to give it some love. Go ahead and click on the page where your button lives.
Step Two: Click on It
So now you’re looking at the button right? It’s probably looking all innocent and stuff but here’s where the magic happens! Just go ahead and click on it. Just like pressing the big red button in a sci-fi movie – except nothing is gonna explode…probably.
Step Three: Look for Settings
Now you’re gonna see a little settings icon pop up somewhere around there. It might look different depending on how funky your design is; but it’s usually like a gear or something sorta techy-looking. Click on that bad boy because settings are important…just ask anyone who has tried to set their own VCR.
Step Four: Change the Link Type
Okay so now we’re in business. You should find an option called ‘Click-through URL’ or similar—mimic what you just asked Siri and she never listens right? Alright so instead of putting a website link there, we’re gonna do something sneaky!
Step Five: Add Your Email Link
This is where we’re turning our button into an email ninja! Type “mailto:” followed by your email address right there in the link box! Like “mailto:savethecats@example.com.” If you’ve been emailing for more than two days, you’ve got this part down pat!
Step Six: Save Your Changes
Don’t forget to save everything you’ve done guys! If you don’t save, it’s like ordering pizza and then forgetting to pay – awkward moments guaranteed with angry cooks chasing after you saying “Uh excuse me!” So hit that save button!
Step Seven: Test It Out
Lastly, you’re gonna wanna test it out because why not? Click your button and see if it actually opens up an email client or if it just does nothing while looking pretty (which is basically what I do most days). If all went well you’ll see your email client pop up with your address already filled in ready for action! Yay!!!
