Step-by-Step Instructions
Use available email variables
Storydoc includes {{sender_email}}, which automatically pulls the email of the person generating the link (the sender)
On certain plans, you can also create your own variable, for example {{email}}, and add it to your variable list.
Add the variable as text
Place {{sender_email}} or {{email}} anywhere in your story text.
Storydoc will replace it with the correct email address when the story link is generated.
Make the email clickable with mailto:
To open a new email draft, connect the variable with a mailto: link.
Examples:
mailto:{{sender_email}}mailto:{{email}}
Add this to a button or hyperlink link field. When clicked, it will open the reader’s default email client with the address filled in.
Important Notes
Not all email clients or devices support mailto: links, so in some cases the button may not trigger an email.
If you only want the email shown, insert the variable as plain text without mailto:.
