Can you embed a meetings module within an email newsletter?

I know you can embed a meetings module onto a normal webpage, but can you embed the module in an email where people can book meetings directly from the email they're reading?

Hi Kevin

Unfortunately not all email clients are created equally. Most will strip out any code, some won't allow certain styles to be applied and none of them (as far as I know) allow a form in an email.

You could take the same apprach as a video where you add an image, representing your meeting for, that links to your meeting page. 

Remember some people may have images turned off so you'll want to include some text that links to your meeting page.

Have fun

Supporting @stinhambo's comment above. A widget that can be included in an email, rather than linking through to a landing page, would make a huge difference. And add a backup hyperlink below in case the email provider fails to read the html and uses plain text.

On further research, it looks as if this feature might now exist: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/meetings-tool/send-proposed-meeting-times-in-an-email

Drift and Mixmax can do it. Hubspot just need to work on the HTML and make an email embeddable meeting feature. If the user needs a different time/date than is offered on the email, it would simply link to your meeting page.

Sometimes saving an extra click goes a long way!
