The "Draft Email" link in Contented allows you to quickly share your output content via email. When clicked, it opens a new draft email with the content pre-populated in the body and a blank recipient field.
If you are running into issues, try the changes below to get your Contented to email workflow running smoothly.
Draft email won't open?
If you're using Chrome or Gmail:
Enable pop-ups: Some users may need to allow pop-ups for your site. If the email draft doesn't open, check if Chrome is blocking pop-ups by looking for a blocked pop-up icon in the address bar
Configure protocol handlers:
Go to
chrome://settings/handlersin your address barMake sure "Allow sites to ask to become default handlers for protocols" is turned ON
Check the "Blocked" section and ensure your email service (like mail.google.com) is not blocked
If using Gmail: Open Gmail in Chrome, click the diamond icon in the address bar, and select "Allow" when asked to handle email links
Draft email opens in the wrong application?
The "Send Email" link uses your computer's default email client. To change which email application opens:
Windows:
Open Settings (press Windows + I)
Go to Apps > Default apps
Search for your preferred email software or scroll to find it
Click your email app, then click the button under "MAILTO"
Select your email client from the list and click OK
Mac:
Open the Mail app
Go to Mail menu > Settings (or Preferences)
Click the "General" tab
Select your preferred email software from the "Default email reader" dropdown
