The Reply By Email Button is a feature that allows users to display a button under their notes, allowing visitors to send them an email to an obfuscated email address.
- The email address is base64 encoded to provide some basic protection from bots.
- The subject line of the email will be taken from the page Title where the button is clicked.
- You can specify on what notes the button should be displayed or excluded.
- The label on the button can also be customised.
## Configuration
The Reply By Email Button is disabled by default. To enable it, you can add the component to your layout configuration in `quartz.layout.ts`.
Minimal configuration:
```ts
Component.ReplyByEmail({
username: "Y29udGFjdA==", // "contact" encoded in base64, as in contact@example.com
domain: "ZXhhbXBsZS5jb20=", // "example.com" encoded in base64, as in contact@example.com
}),
```
You can specify under which notes to display the button by adding the following:
```ts
includeTitles: ["Welcome to Quartz 4", "Reply by Email Button"],
```
Alternatively, you can include the button by default by ommiting the `includeTitles` line, and specify notes under which the button should not be displayed:
```ts
excludeTitles: ["Welcome to Quartz 4", "Home"],
```
You can also override the default `buttonLabel` text:
```ts
buttonLabel: "Reply by email"
```
## Usage
The natural placement for the Reply By Email Button is within `afterBody` in the Content Pages, so that it is displayed right under the note:
```ts
afterBody: [
Component.ReplyByEmail({
username: "Y29udGFjdA==", // "contact" encoded in base64, as in contact@example.com
domain: "ZXhhbXBsZS5jb20=", // "example.com" encoded in base64, as in contact@example.com
// includeTitles: ["Welcome to Quartz 4"], // You can specify which page titles to include or comment out the line to include on all pages
excludeTitles: ["Welcome to Quartz 4", "Home"], // You can specify which page titles to exclude when includeTitles is empty
buttonLabel: "Submit feedback by email" // You can override the default button text "Reply by email"
}),
],
```
## Customization
You can customize the appearance of the ReplyByEmail button through CSS variables and styles. The component uses the following class:
- `.reply-by-email-button`
Example customization in your custom CSS:
```scss
.reply-by-email-button {
color: var(--tertiary);
}
```
