Trigger Native Email Button
I'd like to have a link button trigger a specific form and then open the native email button (on the top right). I've already tried the alternative options: to send this in a regular notification but that does not send the email directly from the user, and I cannot use mailto link because I need to send children records.
When I right click to get the URL address on the Email button it shows an API_GenEmailRecord call which totally works as a regular link - but I cannot figure out how to translate that link into standard URL/API call within the formula field.
If I can create an API call to accomplish both steps (1.open this record in this form 2. then open the email page) that would be best. If I can just get that API Email call to work, I can make the user to go the correct form first.
Thank you!!
