Can you copy an email to clipboard by clicking a button?

I’m trying to figure out if I can have a user click on a button and it copy’s my email to their clipboard so they can mail me instead of using a form…is this possible on webflow?

Hey @Dustin_Ryan

I was looking to do the same thing a while ago and after a bit of searching through old bookmarks, looks like modern browsers do not allow copying to clipboard via javascript for secuirty reasons. There is a somewhat convoluted work around via Javascript through Flash… Not sure its a recommended solution though and in Webflow would require some custom code through the HTML element.

Would you not just want to create a form?

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the reply!

I was 90% sure it wasn’t doable, but thought why not put it out there…I’ll go with the form.

Thanks
