I have a hyperlink action that will start a email using a action. This will work on PC, apple and android browsers. It will not work from the Appshhet App. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
Here is the code
CONCATENATE(“mailto:”,
USEREMAIL(),
“?subject=”,
ENCODEURL(“Ambassador Email Notification”),
“&bcc=”,
SUBSTITUTE(SELECT(Contacts[Email1],[Ambassador] = TRUE)," “,”")
)
AppSheet has an action button to perform this operation. When selecting it in the action editor, it expands to provide properties for the mailto fields. See the example action below.
Thanks, I wish I could use that but i need the bcc fields and they are not available there

Looks like your response was delayed due to info the admins deemed as personal!!
Re-reading your previous message I may have misread your comment. By “PC, apple and android browsers”, did you mean just in general or when running the AppSheet app in those contexts?
The “mailto” function is an HTML-based operation that is implemented inside of browsers.
I have never tried to create a “mailto” instruction like you are doing…but I suspect that when the app runs in a native OS container, it just doesn’t know what to do with a “mailto” command. The OS has its own method of launching into email apps.
FYI, when you use email action in AppSheet, it launches a send email form. You have the ability to enter in the bcc field before sending the email.
If you are looking for a more automated way to send emails, in case you are not aware, AppSheet does have email automations. At the tap of a button, AppSheet can generate and send the email and you can pre-configure the email body or any other details required.
It seems you are in Boston? I’m just north in NH. Let me know if there is anything else I can do!!
I hope this helps!
