How to Create Mail and Phone Link in HTML?

The HTML provides mailto and tel attributes to create the mail and phone links. We can use them in href to create the links. The href provides other sub-attributes that define the other properties of the mailto and phone link.

Creating a Mailto Link

A mailto link is an easy way for users to contact website owners or anyone else directly from a webpage. When a user clicks on the mailto link, it opens their default email client with a new mail addressed to the specified email address. You can also prefill the subject and body text to save users time.

Syntax

<a href="mailto:EMAIL?cc=ANOTHER_EMAIL&bcc=ANOTHER_EMAIL&subject=SUBJECT&body=Demo email" target="_blank">Text_to_Show</a> 

Where -

• mailto: Accepts the recipient's email address.
• cc: Optional parameter. Accepts another email address that will receive the carbon copy.
• bcc: Optional parameter. Accepts one or more email addresses that will receive the blind carbon copy.
• subject: Allows you to assign a default subject to the mail.
• body: Allows you to assign a default subject to the mail.
• ?: First parameter delimiter.
• &: Allows you to separate more than one query.

<a href=
"mailto:[email protected][email protected]&[email protected]&subject=Mail to GeeksForGeeks&body=Demo email" 
      target="_blank">
	Contact at GeeksForGeeks
</a>

Creating a Phone Link

Similar to mailto links, you can also create call links using the HTML anchor tag. When a user clicks on the call link, it redirects them to their default call app with the phone number pre-filled, so they can make calls directly.

Syntax

<a href="tel:+91123-456-7890"> call US </a>

Where -

• tel: To redirect to a call app.
• callto: To open skype app.
• SMS: To send a Text message.
• fax: To send a fax.

<a href="tel:+91123-456-7890">
    Contact on call
</a> <br />

<a href="callto:+91123-456-7890">
    Contact on Skype
</a> <br />

<a href="SMS:+91123-456-7890">
    Send SMS
</a><br />

<a href="fax:+91123-456-7890">
    Send Fax
</a>
