Emails

Hi All

Is there any way to include a feature in an email, to register an email
recipients response via a link or checkbox etc, which is returned with the
email reply?

I send appointment reminder emails to customers and would like to have a
definite means of determining his reply other then parse the email text

Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

As for the include some additional recipient reply/confirm specific feature
question, here are some of my understanding and suggestion:

Normally, for some features that require the email recipient to take some
actions such as vote a choice or post a reply, it would be specific to the
email client or server(such as Outlook + Exchange Server).

For the email body(text or html), it can not quite provide any strong
enforcement on the recipient's response behavior. I suggest you include
some hyperlinks linked to another external web application which can let
the user provide reply/confirmation info when click it. And later, you can
collect the reply/confirmation status from that web application or through
the database. As far as I know, some intranet event/training system use
such email interface to request recipient register the event/training. How
do you think?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
