Cindy Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Brian, first off I hope you are all safe and healthy! I have searched and searched and I can not find an answer or at least not one that has worked. I have a couple rural small businesses I am helping out with ads and what not on facebook. I do all the work in PS and save them all a PDF and or Jepg depending on their needs (this is free to them FYI and our small town). This is the kicker: I can not for the life of me get a "email address" clickable in a post. One business wants to place their add with a clickable image or words to take people to email with their business email address in it to place orders etc. I hope I am making sense. I just can not get the "link" icon to show in order to even begin to link it to the post. I am sure that this is my user error because it shouldn't be this hard to figure out. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Use https://tinyurl.com/ Enter your mailto link - eg mailto:info@damiensymonds.net - and let tinyurl turn it into a link. Facebook will honour that link. At least, it did for me when I just tried it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think this is right then? THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I have saved the link and will keep in on hand. I owe you a beer for sure. I knew there had to be a easier way of doing this. I have a private little group that I work in for things like this, that only I can see, this is what it yielded. Correct?

Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Well ... no. What's all that gibberish after the email address? That wasn't there when I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Also, what e-mail program are you using? Normally you add a e-mail address / biz logo / whatever in what's called a "Signature Field." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 @Cindy, I just sent you my link in a message on your Impromptu page. Can you try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 No when I post the link it looks like this. https://tinyurl.com/yczazgmx When I click it to open a window (my client uses Gmail and chrome, it's just a menu) it shows the above, so I apparently didn't do it right????

Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 There is nothing on yours other than info@damiensumonds.com So, I missed a step somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's not quite true. It doesn't work as perfectly as mine did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Can you try this one? https://tinyurl.com/yb2r9lpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Right... so where did you grab your email address from to take it to tinyurl? That's so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Well shit... how the hell did you do that? I am all kinds of brainless today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I didn't grab it from anywhere, I typed it manually. mailto:info@damiensymonds.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 You just pull stuff out of your butt don't you? LOL Really, I overthink way too much! It worked fine... I am brainless at this point. This lockdown has me all jacked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I am doing these menus for some mom and pop restaurants here in our little town for free through this mess. I truly appreciate every little second of your time! You have helped a small town at the same time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
