Move the action buttons within User Action notification email

Has anybody figured out how to display the email action buttons anywhere on the email body? By default they get attached to the bottom of the email, but we are looking to show them within the body of the email. Thank you!

You can't move the action buttons, it may be possible to use javascript to move them in IPA in the later part of a flow as they are id'd.

Success with this will likely depend on the email client you are using.

1. I have a sneaking suspicion javascript embedded into email will not run; that is likely a pretty big security hole which is likely blocked

2. IPA does allow you to modify the CSS for the action buttons included in email; and CSS does allow you to use a relative or absolute position for the elements. (Configuration > Translation > EmailHeader)

-- the problem with this that the most common email client is Microsoft Outlook which doesn't honor/render valid HTML the same way a browser does. If you use a web mail like google or perhaps office365 this is likely worth pursuing

3. The other alternative is an enhancement request with us
