How to cadd call for action in outlook mail
In Outlook, you can add a "Call to Action" (CTA) to an email by using a feature called "Quick Steps" or "Rules". Here are the steps to add a CTA in Outlook:
Method 1: Using Quick Steps
- Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Quick Steps" button in the "Move" group.
- Click on "Create New Quick Step".
- Give your Quick Step a name, such as "Call to Action".
- In the "Actions" section, select "Run a script".
- In the "Script" section, select "Run a script" and then click on "New".
- In the "Visual Basic Editor", paste the following code:
Sub CallToAction() Dim olInspector As Outlook.Inspector Set olInspector = Application.ActiveInspector If olInspector IsNot Nothing Then olInspector.Display End If End Sub
- Click "OK" to save the script.
- Go back to the "Quick Steps" window and click "OK" to save the Quick Step.
Now, when you want to add a CTA to an email, simply select the email and click on the "Call to Action" Quick Step. This will add a button to the email that says "Call to Action". When you click on the button, it will open the email in a new window.
Method 2: Using Rules
- Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Rules" button in the "Move" group.
- Click on "Manage Rules & Alerts".
- Click on "New Rule".
- Select "Start from a blank rule" and click "Next".
- Select "Check messages when they arrive" and click "Next".
- Select "with specific words in the message" and click "Next".
- In the "Step 1" section, enter the words you want to trigger the CTA (e.g. "Call to Action").
- Click "Next" and then "Finish" to save the rule.
Now, when you receive an email that contains the trigger words, Outlook will automatically add a button to the email that says "Call to Action". When you click on the button, it will open the email in a new window.
Tips
- You can customize the CTA button by changing the text and icon in the Quick Step or Rule.
- You can also add additional actions to the Quick Step or Rule, such as sending a reply or moving the email to a specific folder.
- If you want to add a CTA to multiple emails at once, you can use the "Select All" feature in Outlook and then apply the Quick Step or Rule to the selected emails.
