Open email popup

The action "Open email popup" allows users to trigger opening the email app and have an email composed with pre-defined receiver's address, subject and body.

What is it?

The "Open Email Pop-Up" action allows users to open the email app with an email already composed directly from the app.

This feature is ideal for apps that require users to send feedback, make inquiries, or communicate directly with support or sales teams.

How it works

When you enable the action to the Record View, there is a menu of action buttons added to the bottom bar of the record view.

For this action, you pre-define the phone number and the message content.

When users execute the action, the app sends a command to the device's operating system to open the email app. The email client is pre-filled with the recipient's email address, subject line, and the body of the email. The user can then review the email, make any necessary edits, and send it directly from their device, streamlining communication.

Add the action

  • From the Design tab, in the Tables section of the left sidebar, click on the Record view of any table.

  • Go to the Action section on the right sidebar, and click the + button.

  • Enter the name and icon for the action button, then click Configure...

  • Click + Then... and choose the Open email popup.

Configure the action

Once the action is added, you'll need to configure the specific details for the email:

  • In the email address field, enter the recipient’s email address.

  • In the subject field, specify the subject of the email.

  • In the body content field, write the message that will appear in the email.

For the pre-defined value of each field, you can choose one of these options:

  • Power Fx: Get the input value customized based on a condition set with the PowerFX formula.

  • Custom: Enter a specific input value for the field

  • Row Data: Choose a column that contains the input value specified for each record.

  • User: Get the information of current users as input value

Require confirmation

Requiring a confirmation on the execution of the action can give users the chance to reconsider and avoid accidental taps.

You can also customize the confirmation message or use the default one.

Completion

In the settings of completion, you will configure

  • The message on succession to your users can be a way to communicate as well as engage with your users, elevating the user experience with your app.

  • Checkbox to enable the Confetti interaction like a celebration for the succession, making the experience more fun and rewarding.
