HI,

We can add html like <SELECT> <OPTION selected>1<OPTION>2</SELECT> to mail body.
But how are you planning to have receiver use this?

Hi @MariaJosephina

You can use the Create HTML content activity to add a dropdown in the Email body while sending mail by using Microsoft office 365 Send mail activity. Add the Output of Create HTML content activity output in Mail body.

In the Send Email activity find the options to modify the mail body by html format in the properties.
Consider the below screenshot for more information.

Create all the html code in the create html content activity and save the output in variable.
Pass the output variable in the body of the mail

@Yoichi But how are you planning to have receiver use this?

My answer for you question :
The User who receive the email can select any value in the drop down and reply back.

Hi,

I just tried this using Office365 send mail. In conclusion, it depends on the email client : it was displayed correctly in Gmail, but not in the Desktop Outlook.
If you use Outlook, it might be better to use voting button, but unfortunately the activities package doesn’t seem to support it yet.

Regards,
