Embed form in an automated email

I would like to be able to embed a form in an automated email that is sent out to people once a week, so that I can request status reports. I would like to use this, instead of an update request, so that I can have a historical record of previous status and comments.
Embedding the form will improve the user experience, especially for Project Owners who are not as familiar with Smartsheet. Lets be honest - Execs will take any excuse not to fill out a survey. Having to click a link that doesn't contain good information about where it is taking you can look like a scam - especially when it is not coming from an email within your network.

The question about embedding a form has been asked several times, but I have not seen any responses on a solution. Does Smartsheet monitor these questions to assist in resolutions? I would really like to to utilize this functinality.
