Creating a dynamic email link in Webflow for an "Apply" button with a subject line equal to the job position title is fairly straightforward. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

  1. Create a CMS collection: In the Webflow Designer, go to the CMS tab and create a new collection for your job positions. Add fields, including the job position title.

  2. Design your "Apply" button: On your desired page, design your "Apply" button using a Button element. Style it as needed to match your design.

  3. Link the button: Select the button element and click on the Settings icon (gear icon). In the Link Settings panel, choose External URL.

  4. Adding the dynamic email link: In the URL field of the Link Settings panel, add the following code:

    ```
    mailto:your-email@example.com?subject={{title}}
    ```

    Replace your-email@example.com with your email address or the email address you want to receive job application emails.

  5. Save and publish: Save your changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect.

Now, when a user clicks on the "Apply" button, it will trigger the default email client on their device and the subject line will be populated with the job position title.

Note: Make sure you have a valid default email client set up on the device/browser you are testing on.

By following these steps, you can easily create a dynamic email link for an "Apply" button with a subject line equal to the job position title in Webflow.
