Change the Default "Mailto" Handler to open "New Email Activity"

Posted on by

When you click on an email address in Dynamics 365 it opens an Outlook window to send the email. Is there a way to have it open as an email activity inside of Dynamics 365. If you are trying to tie all activities to a contact this would be more efficient.

    Hi Ronald,

    I don't think there is any straight forward/ supported way to achieve this and If I am not wrong, its a browser behaviour which opens an email in outlook.

    You could however have a custom button on a contact form to open the new email activity record for that contact. There are support JavaScript methods to do that.

    Hope this helps
