How to build-in MS Outlook voting buttons into SSRS generated email - email

I want to create a pdf offer letter for our customers using an SSRS report subscription. The report creates the pdf file and mails it out to the desired address on a schedule. So far so good.
However, I want to build in the MS Outlook Voting buttons. So if the customer wants to accept the offer, he clicks the voting button "Accept", otherwise he clicks the voting button "Reject". Obviously, he can only use those buttons when he has MS Outlook.
How can I tell SSRS to not only send the email but also build in the voting button function?

SSRS Send mail on click without opening Outlook

I have made a report with textbox which when it is clicked, Outlook is opened and I can send a mail (parameters like subject and body are set). How can I make sending a mail automatic? Without clicking 'Send' button on opened Outlook?
You could send the mail from the server instead of from the client.
Therefore you can configure Database Mail in the SQL Server. Then you can send mails using stored procedures. You can trigger that procedure using a dataset of a subreport.
But what is your use case? Sharing reports? I think there a nicer solutions for that.

Struggling with adding new Gmail EventReservation schema Tags to emails

I am trying to test the new EventReservation Schema that Gmail offers to transaction confirmation emails sent from my site. I have followed all the steps recommendend on the site (https://developers.google.com/gmail/schemas/reference/event-reservation).
I also used the Structured data markup helper (https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/?email=true) to generate the Tags. using the script.google.com site i wrote a test to send the same confirmation emails but NO DICE!! Would anyone be able to help me?
How is your test failing? Are you expecting an inbox action button and not seeing it? Or are you expecting Google Now to generate a reminder card?
The Event Registration schema does not give the recipient an action button in the inbox. It should however be used by Google Now to generate a reminder card which will remind the recipient of the date/time of the event.
Google Now will remind the user on the day of the event. The user will
receive a time to leave reminder (based on traffic etc).
- Basic Event Reminder
When using the RSVP Action schema it should cause an action button to be displayed in the inbox that shows a dialog for the recipient to respond with a yes/no/maybe in regard to if they will attend the event.
In either case there are currently (at the time of this writing) a few gotchas in regard to using these schemas.
The first thing you need to know is that you must register with Google in order to be whitelisted to use these inbox actions in Gmail. Without registering and being whitelisted all you can do is send emails to yourself (your own Gmail account) in order to test these schemas out. If your trying to send to someone else's Gmail account it will not work.
Many of these schemas are only in API Preview mode for now.
As of July 11, 2013 the RSVP Action is only enabled for emails sent by Google Calendar.
You can follow updates relating to the inbox actions on the Release Notes page.

Possible to send SQL Reporting Services report in email format with a duplicate pdf attachment?

Our system sends a "Daily Update" email via Reporting Services to all users each morning. If people are on a computer there's no issue. But, for users on the go, some mobile device email clients can't render the email. However, they can all render pdf files.
So... the quick fix was to create two subscriptions for each user; one with the message in the body and one with the message in an attached pdf. This creates an annoying amount of friction. I'd love to send a single email with the message in the body a duplicate pdf version attached.
Is there a simple solution?
FYI, we're managing this through Reporting Services Subscriptions.
By default, no: you can't have both formats in one email
The report "render format" determines whether inline or attached if you check "Include Report". So setting to "PDF" will generate an attachment. However, if you check "Include Link" for PDF rendering then folk can click and go to the report served by the Web site.
Otherwise, you'd have to write some small app that calls the ReportServer service and gets both report formats and combine into one email. Or write your own custom delivery extension
I think it is better to use Database Mail. You can manage it to send e-mail or SMS or even both of them to your subscribtion list.
I'm not sure that you can send a single email with the message in the body a duplicate pdf version attached.
If I understood it correctly, you want to send an email with attachment in pdf and this pdf will have same text/data as that in email body, right?
If that is the case then don't you think "Include Report" with "Render Format" in PDF will give you desired result?
