Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Have you ever clicked on a website's "contact us" email link, only to find out that nothing happens when you click on it?

Or maybe it opens an email client like iCloud email on your Apple MacOs device, or Microsoft Outlook on your Windows device?

It's an annoyance that doesn't need to happen at all. With this extension, you'll be able to set Gmail (or your G Suite account) as your default email client anytime you click on an email address that you find online.

This extension is great for:

✅ Large organizations that use Google Workspace to ensure that all your employees compose emails from their work emails and not accidentally sent from employees' private email accounts (ie. iCloud, Outloook.com, or other Gmail email).

✅ Gmail users who just don't like using other email clients other than their Gmail email client.

✅ Gmail users who are left wondering why clicking on an email link just never works at all.

Save time from having to copy and paste email addresses from the web into your Gmail compose window with Mailto: Set Default Email to Gmail by cloudHQ

User reviews

With all the changes to the chromium world, many of the mailto extensions have stopped working. However, the cloudHQ app works. It does so by opening a tab of gmail, then opening a compose window within gmail. I don't like that it opens the entirety of gmail. But right now, this is the only extension I can find that will process a mailto link.

I wish these reviews would have come up in google searches, it would have saved me an hour! I use Arc Browser, and after installing gmail-Mailto by CloudHQ, viola, when clicking mailto: links my pinned gmail tab pops up, opens an email for compose, and I'm good to go. Excellent! Thank you!
