Not with anything built-in, no. You might be able to script something that polls a mailbox, but that would be pretty difficult with current Outlook security requirements. ---

If we create an Ignition user that has email, Can we get around that problem? ---

Not really. At the moment, Ignition supports OAuth2 for **sending** emails, and nothing in Ignition is set up to ever **receive** emails. So not only do you have to solve the OAuth2 problem, but you have to set up processes inside Ignition to poll a mailbox. Non-trivial. Why does it have to be Outlook Forms? Can you not make Perspective forms? So the data is entered directly into Ignition? ---

Sure, absolutely, will go there. They have an Outlook email now, so I wanted to know if integration was possible at all. thanks! ---

but you can acknowledge an alarm, via an email, but that is different ? ---

That acknowledgement doesn't go through a reply mail, but by following a web link to the gateway. Again, the Ignition gateway only **sends** emails. ---

Technically, Ignition _can_ read emails for alarm acknowledgement back, but only via POP3, with its many associated headaches: [Email Alarm Acknowledgement | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/alarm-notification/notification-profile-types/email-notification-profile/email-alarm-acknowledgement#using-email-acknowledgement-with-pop3) ---
