* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 Minuten Lesedauer

Embed an interactive survey in the email notification sent to a user. The user can
answer the survey questions and submit the survey from the email client instead of opening
the survey in a new browser tab.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin or survey_admin

The Outlook Actionable Messages plugin
(sn_ms_oam) should be activated.  
Hinweis:  
* The Outlook Actionable Messages (OAM) feature is not supported in all Microsoft mail products and versions. To verify whether your version of Outlook supports OAM, refer to the [Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/actionable-messages/) website.
* Actionable messages are supported only for emails sent from the @service-now.com email address. If you are sending an email from a customized email address, you should register as a new service in the [Microsoft](https://aka.ms/publishoam) website setting the scope as Organization. Specify the provider ID value in the sn_ms_oam.outlookactionable.originator property.
* Actionable messages are based on the Sender Policy Framework (SPF)/DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) validation for the email sender verification. If an email recipient receives email via an external provider, emails may not be rendered as adaptive cards.
* You cannot customize the default actionable message templates.

   * Template type question with image option is supported only if there is a single question in the survey.
   * Date/Time type question is supported in web client of Outlook and not in desktop client as Microsoft doesn't support Date/Time for Outlook desktop client.
   * Two duplicate choice display values should not be used as the internal value may not be submitted incorrectly.
   * The answer for String type question can be validated based on the option selected in the Field Validation field. For example, if you select the option as email address, then the answer entered can only be in the email-id format. Answers in any other format will not be accepted.

     * Attachment
