Hi Everyone,

I would like to ask if there is a way to have the email to be draft instead of automatically sending the email via outlook action.

    The only we have found is to use the actual UI elements inside of Microsoft Outlook, and not to run it through the PAD Outlook actions. 

    Another alternative is to send yourself the draft, then you can review and forward it to the necessary email.  So, you use the Outlook actions to “send an email”, but you are actually just sending it to yourself (or whoever needs to approve the draft) to review.
