Combining two bits of JavaScript in mailto

Question

G'day,

I'm trying use the mailto function for a button that should rename the subject line to the name of the PDF and also take an email address that is written previously in the document as the recipient of the email.

This is what I'm working with;

var docName = this.documentFileName;

var mailtoUrl = "mailto:[Email address]?body=[custom body]&subject="+ encodeURIComponent(docName); this.submitForm({ cURL: mailtoUrl, cSubmitAs: "PDF" });

and

getURL("mailto:" + getField("07 Work Email").value

Both of the bits of script work seperately but I have no idea to combine them.

The last command doesn't do what you're trying to do. It tries to convert the URL you provide to a PDF, which can't work with a "mailto" address. Your original code should work, but if you want to insert the value of a field into the string, do the following:

var mailtoUrl = "mailto:" + this.getField("07 Work Email").value + "?body=[custom body]&subject="+ encodeURIComponent(docName);
