Hi everyone :)
When I try to link to a button, the mailto: always appears right at the beginning.
This means I can no longer link to an external URL. Is there a trick to removing the mailto:?
Thanks!
Marc

  Hi Marc,

  Thank you for contacting us. 

  Please try to duplicate the button, this will allow you to start over and reconfigure it.

  

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  Hi Ariel,

  thanx for your fast answer. I can now narrow down the problem more precisely:

  I want to link to a Microsoft calendar. The URL contains an @ symbol. What can I do to prevent the URL from being recognized as an email address?

  A Microsoft-Kalender-URL looks like: 
  https://outlook.office.com/book/test@nordprax.de/?ismsaljsauthenabled

  My temporary solution:
  I create a short link from the Microsoft links with the @ symbol and then use that.

  But that's not ideal. Is there a way to make URLs with @ symbols recognized as URLs?

  Hi Marc,

  You can escape the @ symbol in your link using percent-encoding. The @ character is encoded as %40.

  For example, your link would look like this:

  https://outlook.office.com/book/test%40nordprax.de/?ismsaljsauthenabled
