Interactive Email
Hello,
I want to create an email that the respondent can edit (like drop downs, radio buttons, etc) then send out themselves afterward.
How can I do this?
Thank you
Can you expand on the use case a bit? Microsoft 365 does support "actionable messages", which allow for user input and dynamically displaying content. Whether this is suitable for your scenarios, I cannot tell, but check out the examples in the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/actionable-messages/
I have a form I want people to be able to fill out. Some questions require unique answers (like name) while other lines might have a set amount of choices. Here is a small example of the form as it is currently:
Actionable messages should be able to address this, but given the complexity involved, I'd go with Leon's suggestion to use a Form instead.
Hi MPelley,
creating an interactive email with editable elements like drop-downs and radio buttons is not directly supported in traditional email clients like Outlook.
You can achieve a similar effect by using Microsoft Forms and linking to them in your email.
I recommend you to send your feature request directly to Microsoft from Outlook Desktop App by clicking on Help > Feedback
You can also post your feature request on Microsoft Feedback Portal:
Outlook · Community (microsoft.com)
