Technical notes

Formatting URLs

  • each URL must start with 'http://' or 'https://'.

Formatting emails

Confluence supports advanced mailto: link formatting to prepopulate an email when the link is clicked. The email is normally created in the desktop client as it is the default on most computers.

Multiple emails

When a user clicks on the link it prepopulates the To field with multiple emails.

CC and/or BCC

To add CC and BCC to your email, use the cc or bcc parameter.

Subject line

Include a prepopulated subject line.

Body text

Include a prepopulated body text.

Combine parameters

Formatting phone numbers

The ‘tel:’ format is not fully supported.

Within same country, Confluence native

tel:’ links can only have numbers. Therefore, a number only works for callers from within the same country and if the number is written in the URL exactly as if dialing within the country. Example in North America ‘tel:2025557777'.

The 'tel:+' for international calling does not work natively in Confluence.

International calling, need an app

The only way to use 'tel:+' is to get an HTML macro app from the Atlassian Marketplace so that you can use HTML on the page. Here is an example as to what you could add inside such a macro to make the phone number usable for users in any country:

<a href="tel:+441234567890“>Call us</a>

Atlassian does not have short term plans to fully support the tel: standard (see closed feature request).
