# Sending Emails Directly from a Constituent Profile

#### Overview

The Humanitru database now makes it faster to reach out to constituents by email. Every email field on a constituent's profile is now a clickable link that opens your default mail client pre-addressed and ready to send — no more copying and pasting addresses manually.

To ensure your sent email appears on the constituent’s profile, you will need to use the [BCC functionality](https://kbhelp.humanitru.com/knowledge/can-i-send-a-personal-email-to-a-constituent-and-have-that-email-logged-in-their-profile?hsLang=en) as well – \[your shorthand\]@bcchumanitru.com must be BCC’d on the email you send.

---

#### How It Works

When you open a constituent's profile, any **email field** — including the built-in Email field and any custom email fields your organization has added (e.g. Secondary Email, Tertiary Email, Quaternary Email) — now displays a **Send** link with an envelope icon (✉) next to the field label.

Clicking **Send** opens your default mail client with the constituent's email address already filled in.

#### What to Expect

- The **Send** link appears automatically on all email fields — no setup or configuration required.
- It works for both the standard Email field and any custom fields your organization has configured with the Email field type.
- The link only appears when a single, specific email address is present. It will not appear on rows that show multiple constituents at once or on fields with no value.

---

#### Requirements

Your computer must have a **default mail client** configured (e.g. Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail desktop app). If clicking the link does nothing or prompts you to choose an app, check your system settings to set a default mail application.
