Microsoft Outlook is a popular email client that offers a variety of features to make email communication more efficient. One such feature is the ability to add voting buttons to emails. This allows the sender to get a quick and easy response from the recipient. In this article, we will discuss how to create voting buttons in Microsoft Outlook.


If you want to create a poll or survey in Outlook, you can use the voting buttons feature. This feature allows you to add custom buttons to your email that recipients can click to vote. Here are the steps to create voting buttons in Microsoft Outlook:

  • Open Microsoft Outlook and click on "New Email" to create a new email message.
  • In the new email message, click on the "Options" tab in the ribbon.
  • In the "Options" tab, click on "Use Voting Buttons" in the "Tracking" group.

 


Choose one of the following:


Approve;Reject    

Use when you need an authorization for an action. For example, you can send an email request to several recipients seeking their approval of a project proposal.


Yes;No   

Use when you need either a yes or a no. This is a good way to take a quick poll.


Yes;No;Maybe 

Use when you don't want to limit the choices to yes and no. This voting option offers an alternative response.


Custom    

Use to create your own custom voting button names. For example, you can ask your colleagues to choose among three days of the week for a recurring weekly staff meeting.
