Add "mailto" to button and filter url

Hi!

Two questions.
Number 1: is there a way to add a mailto function to a button? Like a simple Contact button that open an email when clicked.

Number 2: Is there a way to automatically add filter to url when clicked on? Right now the url stays the same. And instead of showing https://yoursite.softr.app/?filter-by-Location=Berlin can you get the same filtering but using https://yoursite.softr.app/berlin ?

Yes to both. You would have to create the links in Airtable. Then in Softr, reference them by choosing external links and selecting the Airtable fields.

I’m pretty sure this can be done with some workarounds, but for a convenience standpoint I think Softr offering us the ability to set default filters (and even search query) in the Studio would be super helpful imho.
