Hi there, I want to send HTML emails from AirTable using the Send Outlook Email action in Automations. I need them to contain embedded images with external links and a call to action button at the bottom. Please can someone tell me if this is possible and if so how?

Some HTML is also allowed. I’m not sure which parts of HTML are supported and which ones are not, though.

Basic tags like <p>, <b>, <i>, <a href> are all supported.

For fuller HTML support, I would check out Integromat’s Outlook modules:

Per this article, both <a> tags and <img> tags are supported in email automations. Formatting <div> tags does not seem to work. This article is not specific to Outlook emails, but I find these tags work in both Airtable branded emails and Google emails, so they probably work in Outlook emails.

You cannot embed an html button, but you can use a link that will open a webpage. You may even be able to use an image inside the link, where the image looks like a button.
