Using SQL Server 2008 Standard.
I have a shipment tracking report that dynamically generates a URL based on the shipping carrier.
We do not want to automatically send out an email to the end user yet, but would be nice to know how to do.
I was wondering...is there a way in SSRS to have a clickable link that will populate an email that includes a specific title and body contents?
I don't want ot automatically send this email because our team would like to be able to put in a personalized message first before it sends.
Basically I want to click a link and see this info automatically populated:
From: <current logged in user>
To:<customer>
Subject: <Carrier> Shipping Information
Body:
<Customer Name>
Click here for your shipment information <trackingnumber>
Just wanted to make sure this is possible and see how hard it might be to implement.

Yes I think you can.
In the text box properties, there is an 'Action' section.
You can set this to Go to URL
In there you can use a mailto:
e.g.
mailto:name@email.com
Mailto links can get quite fancy including various "headers" such as "body"
e.g.
mailto:recipient@example.com?subject=Ha!&X-Mailer=Baluba&body=Ha!%0D%0ABla!

This is absolute gold!
Thanks for helping out. I'm still 'New Jack' when it comes to SQL Server. I'm learning something new every day. Didn't realize SSRS could do this.
