    Yes, you can create an adaptive card that, when clicked, opens an Outlook email template. Here's how you can do it:

    1. Create an adaptive card that includes a button element. Here's an example JSON code for an adaptive card with a button element:
    { "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
    { "type": "TextBlock",
    "text": "Click the button to open an email template." }
    ],
    "actions": [
    { "type": "Action.OpenUrl",
    "title": "Open Email Template",
    "url": "mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons?subject=Example%20Subject&body=Example%20Body"
        }
      ]
    }
    1. In the actions array, specify the type of action as Action.OpenUrl. This action allows you to specify a URL to open when the button is clicked.
    2. In the url field, specify the mailto: protocol followed by the email recipient's email address, subject, and body. You can use URL encoding to encode spaces and special characters in the subject and bodyhttps://www.gotravelaindonesia.com/

    When the user clicks the button in the adaptive card, it will open a new email message in Outlook with the specified recipient, subject, and body.
