Gmail – Fill in the “To:” field from the URL in Gmail

gmailurl

I know that I can quickly launch New message dialog by going to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox?compose=new. I often send a file to a list of my colleagues so it would be nice to have the To: field prefilled with their emails.

Is it possible to go further and fill in the To: field with a list of addresses?

Pulled this from Stack Overflow... this URL seems to do the trick

https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&to=someone@example.com&su=SUBJECT&body=BODY&bcc=someone.else@example.com

We're integrating with Slack and have a bot letting us know when new emails to our Google Groups come in. I was looking for this same thing to add a hyperlink to the Slack notification that allows us to quickly reply to the sender via Gmail (instead of mailto trying to use Outlook or another default mail client).

Haven't found a way to pre-fill the "To" field in the nice Gmail pop-up composer though... only through this full screen option.
