You can create a click box in Captivate that will automatically send an email to whatever email address you specify.
Here’s how
- Choose Insert > Click Box or Insert > Button
- Select the Click Box tab
- Select Send email to from the On success area
- Specify an email recipient in the Send e-mail to area
If a user clicks the click box or button, their email software (such as Outlook) will appear. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the user will have to fill in a Subject line and the body of the email before sending the email.
If you want to include a subject line and/or automatically fill in the body of the email, you can type the following:
someguy@someplace.com? subject=Captivate% 20Presentation&body=Body%20goes% 20here&cc=someotherguy@someplace.com
Provided your email client supports the tag, the email that is generated would have the following information pre-filled:
To: someguy@someplace.com
CC: someotherguy@someplace.com
Subject: Captivate Presentation
Body: Body goes here
I’m using Captivate 4 and was wondering how to achieve this same effect. I’ve tried this and Captivate 4 gives me the error message “Please use a valid email address to continue.” Any thoughts about how to get around this?
