FAQ

What email fields can I pre-fill?

Recipient (To), subject line, and body text. SimpleTool auto-detects email addresses and encodes them using the mailto: URI standard, which all phones and email clients support.

Does it work with Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail?

Yes. The mailto: protocol is universally supported. When the user scans the QR code, their default email app opens with the fields pre-filled.

Can I add a pre-written message body?

Yes. Enter the full email address with subject and body in the format: email@example.com?subject=Feedback&body=Hi, I wanted to share... SimpleTool will encode it correctly.
