Hi Expert,
I am trying to create a button to launch the "Mail to". The design concept is as below:
The formula works fine when the number is small. But the challenge I am facing is the number of recipients can be as large as 150. When the number of recipients are large, the formula will not be able to launch outlook.
Is there any max number limitation on the Mailto? Or another solution to achieve the concept?
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Tom

HI @TomLu1231 ,
The maximum number of recipients per message in Outlook is 500 - see this information.
Are you saying it is not working at 150?
@TomLu1231 - It appears that the "Mailto" functionality has a character limit of about 2000 characters.
Is there any reason you can't use the outlook connector?
Hi @TomLu1231 ,
I agree with @EvanTse 's thought almost. Currently, there is a known limit with the Mailto protocol -- the maximum value of characters in "Mailto" protocol is 2000.
As an alternative solution, I think Office365Outlook.SendEmail() function could achieve your needs. On your side, please add Office 365 Outlook connection into your app, then take a try with the following formula:
Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
Concat(GroupEmailRecipients, EmalName & ";"),
"Subject",
"Body Content"
)

I missed to "MailTo" reference in among the main issue you raised.
@EvanTse is correct in that you should use Office365Outlook.SendEmail, which should take 500 limit documented for Outlook.
