Email component

Is it possible to not display the actual send to email address I would prefer to add a bit of text instead ie, “ **email app support** ”

It just looks a bit untidy!  
Thanks

I think without using a workaround you can just have a button and use a compose email action.

Do you want to use CSS to hide the email here instead?

So if there is any CSS that may be

there is no need for css, just use an Action Text component

I meant a button that points to a compose email action, not the email component.

I think he wants to send an email without showing the recipient and body… for that you can use a script with trigger… or you can use action with PRO App
