Update: Embed a poll or survey into an email
September 21st, 2009 by Eoin
We have added an update to the Email Groups feature that we launched a couple of weeks ago. You can now embed a poll or a survey into an email, so the recipient can submit their response directly from the email.
Just use the [poll] shortcode to embed a poll in the email, or [survey] shortcode to embed a survey. More on how to do this can be found on the support page.
Polls and surveys are then embedded directly in the email as a form without the need for any other code. This should should work for all email clients, although if you find one that doesn’t work please do let us know.
Everything I have read and experienced has shown that including forms in emails is extremely unreliable. Is the same thing true here, or have you discovered a work-around for this issue?
A form will work with most email clients except for Outlook 2007, that we know of. If the respondent has any difficulty, there is a link to the poll or survey online.
But this will work with pro account or without? this i dont understand clear…
This will work for all account types. You can use our email groups feature to send the email with the embed if you are a Pro user, otherwise you can send the email embed to your email address and from there send it on to your contacts.
