hyperlink in attribute to send email

Is there a way for an attribute table to contain a hyperlink allowing the person opening a popup to click on that email address to send an email to that person? This would be in a webapp.

Heh, well now I'm determined to solve this because it should be possible! I've circled all the areas to click to get to that interface in the screenshots below...

After adding the HTML we've discussed above, the pop-up looks like this, with both the email link and the attributes showing.

If you *still* aren't able to complete that workflow....I'm not sure. Confirming, are you the owner of the map that you are trying to edit the pop-ups for? What user type are you in AGOL?

so I've managed to add an email address to a popup but it opens as its own popup not as a part of the feature popup. I want the user to be able to edit a feature in the popup and then click on the email link to send an email

Have you tried HTML formatting with a custom pop-up configuration?

I have not, because this is outside my current skill set. I've searched for a variety of solutions online but everything I've found seems to come up a bit short.

I tried adding this based on sample HTML code that I found but it still shows just the email link in the popup and excludes any information derived from the attribute fields.

In map viewer classic, you can customize the entire pop-up using HTML, so you can use an <a href> tag to create the email link.

Here's an example of what the pop-up could look like. Attributes will populate where the field name is in curly brackets.

This is what the HTML looks like for that display.

Does that work for what you need?

In the new map viewer, you click "Add Content" > "Text" under pop-up configurations to add custom HTML. If you don't want the default field list/pop-up format to display, delete the Field List section from the pop-up configuration menu.

Not really. Doing it this way only shows the email address in the popup not the field in the attribute table for the feature.

Is it possible to show the attribute field information in the popup with the email address at the bottom of the popup box?

I added on an additional response regarding doing this in the new map viewer. Is that the interface you're working in?

yes, I'm using the new Map Viewer.

I feel like I tried what you suggest above and still only got it to show just the email option but will try again.

thanks for your patience.
