Hi,
I am researching the differences between the
"Send an email notification (V3)" Action which comes with the Mail Connection
and the
"Send an email (V2)" Action which comes with the Office 365 Outlook Connection.
I am fully aware that you need to have a license and online mailbox in order to use the Office 365 Outlook connection. That being said, If a user has the necessary elements to use either action, why might you choose one over the other?
Thank you for your assistance
Matt

Solved! Go to Solution.
The primary reason that I might choose to use the Send an Email notification action is that it shows as being from (the sender) "Microsoft Power Apps and Flow". The Send an Email action shows as being from the individual whose credentials were used on the send an email connector - usually the Flow author.
The Send an email notification (v3) will send the email from Microsoft PowerApps and Flow. It can only send 100 emails every 24 hours.
The Send an email (v2) will send the email from you as the creator of the flow. It can send 900 emails every 60 seconds.

Hi @schuess3,
"Send an email notification (V3)" could add only one attachment into the email, but "Send an email (V2)" could add multiple attachments:

I can see from Microsoft's documentation:
The Send an email notification (v3) will send the email from Microsoft PowerApps and Flow. It can only send 100 emails every 24 hours.
Can anyone tell me in what exact context? Is this is per flow, per user or per tenant?
Thanks,
Paul

I have no were mentioned in my email content by still its taken in buildin content.

when we use "Send an email (V2)" then send email from Connections email id receiver got email from connect name i don't want to be see Connections name i want to be set any custom name or any DL name instead of Connections name how we do that?
@Anonymous
If you want to dynamically change the connection you won't be able to do that.
Is it any work around when user receive email From:- xyz@gg.com To: User Email ID instead of xyz can we hide this email id from user and put another email id? like: noreplypower@onmicrosoft.com OR Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate microsoft@powerapps.com like that?
@Anonymous
If you can deal with the limitations of Send an email notification, then that is your answer.
Your option to create a shared mailbox is likely your best choice. You can name the shared mailbox almost anything you want.
@ScottShearer - This is actually frustrating. Microsoft is actually recommending Power Automate as Successor to SharePoint Designer. Such basic things are missing in the products. Shared Mailbox may not be a good choice from security standpoint within certain organizations and policies might restrict them. Really surprised which such a low email threshold on Send email notification v3. Product team should think from business standpoint. Have you come across any other solution?
Do you have a link to this documentation?
Can you tell me what documentation you are looking for?
Look at the "in response to" in my post. 🙂
I was looking for the information that says that "Send an email notification (V3)" has only 100 calls per day.
But I found it: Mail - Connectors | Microsoft Docs
What a terrible design of a connector! I am now working with my first two real Power Automate projects. And there are SO MANY limitations. And for the most basic of functionality. I never thought that sending an email from a no reply address should prove to be a problem...
Im working with moving deviation systems from SP on prem to SP online, and creating a brand new quality and deviation system. So many emails to set up so much problems with Power Automate :\.
I never thought I would miss SharePoint designer workflows SO MUCH!
Dear All,
I currently have a flow using "Send an email notification (V3)" which sends submitted kobo forms to some selected email addresses. The content been sent basically are text-based. I will want to include images as well. Thus, not just text like, I also want images been submitted on kobo should also be included in the flow. See below my code.
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"form_title": {
"type": "string"
},
"_id": {
"type": "integer"
},
"site_name": {
"type": "string"
},
"Enumerator_s_Name": {
"type": "string"
},
"purpose": {
"type": "string"
},
"Gender": {
"type": "string"
}
"Full_name_of_HoH": {
"type": "string"
}
}
Thanks
How to trace back the flow author if send from "Microsoft Power Apps and Flow"?
Hi @RobElliott - thank you for this confirmation. However, from what I can determine, I need to use the v2 in order to property get my attachments to attach (using Array variable and the flow is NOT an approval flow). Do you have a solution that would allow the use of Array variable attachments using v3 so the notification will not come from me as flow creator?
@cblackl2000 we always use a shared mailbox to send emails in our flows. That way it doesn't come from you but from, for example, a department like HR.

The Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is a community-driven initiative that started in September 2022. It has quickly earned recognition for its enthusiastic leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. With a focus on promoting learning and networking among professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, the group has grown steadily and gained a reputation for its commitment to its members! The group, which had its inaugural event in January 2023 at the Microsoft UK Headquarters in Reading, has since organized three successful gatherings, including a recent social lunch. They maintain a regular schedule of four events per year, each attended by an average of 20-25 enthusiastic participants who enjoy engaging talks and, of course, pizza. The Reading User Group's presence is primarily spread through LinkedIn and Meetup, with the support of the wider community. This thriving community is managed by a dedicated team consisting of Fraser Dear, Tim Leung, and Andrew Bibby, who serves as the main point of contact for the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups. Andrew Bibby, an active figure in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform community, nominated this group due to his admiration for the Reading UK User Group's efforts. He emphasized their remarkable enthusiasm and success in running the group, noting that they navigated challenges such as finding venues with resilience and smiles on their faces. Despite being a relatively new group with 20-30 members, they have managed to achieve high attendance at their meetings. The group's journey began when Fraser Dear moved to the Reading area and realized the absence of a user group catering to professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space. He reached out to Andrew, who provided valuable guidance and support, allowing the Reading User Group to officially join the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups community. One of the group's notable achievements was overcoming the challenge of finding a suitable venue. Initially, their "home" was the Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. However, due to office closures, they had to seek a new location with limited time. Fortunately, a connection with Stephanie Stacey from Microsoft led them to Reading College and its Institute of Technology. The college generously offered them event space and support, forging a mutually beneficial partnership where the group promotes the Institute and encourages its members to support the next generation of IT professionals. With the dedication of its leadership team, the Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is poised to continue growing and thriving! Their story exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and the positive impact they can have on professional development and networking in the tech industry. As they move forward with their upcoming events and collaborations with Reading College, the group is likely to remain a valuable resource for professionals in the Reading area and beyond.
