What the Gmail Compose Link Generator does

A Gmail compose link opens mail.google.com in compose mode with recipient, subject, body, CC and BCC filled in, which suits teams that live in Gmail on the web rather than a desktop mail client.

Methodology and formula

The tool uses Gmail's mail/u/0/?view=cm compose endpoint with encoded to, su, body, cc and bcc parameters.

Worked example

Inputs: To sales@example.com, subject Quote request
Result: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?view=cm&fs=1&to=sales%40example.com&su=Quote%20request

Gmail opens in a new tab with the draft ready to edit and send.

When to use this tool

Pair the gmail compose link generator with the short link generator for a tidy shareable address, or the QR code generator when the link has to work on print.

How the link is built

The tool uses Gmail's mail/u/0/?view=cm compose endpoint with encoded to, su, body, cc and bcc parameters.

Things to watch out for

Unlike a mailto link this always opens Gmail on the web. Use the mailto link generator when people may use Outlook or Apple Mail.

Frequently asked questions

What if the user has several Gmail accounts?

The /u/0/ path opens the first signed-in account; Gmail lets them switch before sending.

Can I attach a file?

No. Browsers never allow attachments to be added through a URL for security reasons.

Is this link generator free?

Yes. Every generator on BusinessTools.Online is free, needs no signup, and builds the link in your browser.

Do you store the links I create?

No. The link is assembled locally in your browser and never sent to or saved on our servers.
