Trying to pull emails from a mailto

How to?
#1

Trying to scrape email address that is a mailto link ie: it opens the user email program, I have used element attribute and then the attribute name href If I view data preview the email is displayed, when I check subsequent pages with data preview nothing is displayed and when I scrape no data is pulled. Is there a way to configure this please?
Thx in advance.

Try these selector for email , First Element click then element attribute

{"_id":"Email","startUrl":["https://www.ukparks.com/park/penmarlam/"],"selectors":[{"clickActionType":"real","clickElementSelector":".col-1-1 .emailhide a","clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueText","clickType":"clickOnce","delay":0,"discardInitialElements":"discard-when-click-element-exists","id":"Email","multiple":true,"parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":"body","type":"SelectorElementClick"},{"extractAttribute":"href","id":"fff","multiple":false,"parentSelectors":["Email"],"selector":"a[href^=\"mailto:\"]","type":"SelectorElementAttribute"}]}
