email link for facebook?

[Cindy]

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!

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.

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?

Well ... no.  What's all that gibberish after the email address?  That wasn't there when I tried it.

[Brian]

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."

@Cindy, I just sent you my link in a message on your Impromptu page.  Can you try it?

[Cindy]

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]

There is nothing on yours other than info@damiensumonds.com

So, I missed a step somewhere.

Your link works for me.

Actually, that's not quite true.  It doesn't work as perfectly as mine did.

[Damien Symonds]

Can you try this one?  https://tinyurl.com/yb2r9lpy

Right...  so where did you grab your email address from to take it to tinyurl?   That's so weird.  

[Cindy]

Well shit... how the hell did you do that?   I am all kinds of brainless today. 

[Damien Symonds]

I didn't grab it from anywhere, I typed it manually.

mailto:info@damiensymonds.net

[Cindy]

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! 

[Damien Symonds]

Glad to help.

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!
