An email link for your Instagram bio and Stories
Instagram only turns http(s) addresses into links, so a mailto: in your bio sits there as dead text almost nobody copies out. A linkto.email link is a regular HTTPS URL: it fits the bio field and the Story link sticker, and one tap opens the visitor's email app with your address, subject and message already filled in.

Why it works on Instagram
Tappable in the bio
Instagram links the URL in your bio, not a mailto: address. A short HTTPS link is tappable the moment you paste it.
Works in the Story sticker
The Story link sticker accepts https:// links only. Drop your email link in and followers reach your inbox with one tap.
Opens inside the app
The redirect page recognizes the Instagram in-app browser and gets the visitor to their default email app from inside it, instead of doing nothing at all.
Add an email link to Instagram
- 1Create your link with your address, a subject like “Collab request” and a starter message.
- 2Paste the short link into Edit profile → Links → Add external link, or into your link-in-bio page.
- 3Use the same link in a Story link sticker, then check your dashboard to see how many people tapped it, and from where.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put an email address in my Instagram bio?
You can type it, but Instagram won't make it clickable — only http(s) addresses become links. Paste a linkto.email link instead and followers reach your inbox with one tap.
Does it work in a Story link sticker?
Yes. The Story link sticker accepts https:// links, which is exactly what linkto.email gives you. Tapping it opens the visitor's email app with your subject and message ready.
Will my bio link stop working?
A test link expires 2 hours after it's created, which is fine for trying things out. A bio link should be permanent: buy a permanent link for that one link, or go Pro yearly to make every link you create permanent.
Put a real email link in your bio
Create yours in seconds — you can test one without signing up. Buy a permanent link so it never stops working — with a custom URL, CC/BCC and full analytics — or go Pro yearly to get all of that on every link.
