Send Email on Button Press

I have a button that when pressed I want it to send an email to a specific user with the information selected via a combobox.

 

Run("email@email.com.au","Item"&Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,AllowedValues))

this is the code I am using but it is coming up with error "Invocation of unknown or unsupported functions.

Hi @SunnyJess,

 

Do you want to send an Outlook email to a specific user within your PowerApps app?

 

I assume that you want to send an Outlook email to a specific user within your PowerApps app, I think there is something wrong with the formula that you provided.

 

If you want to send an outlook email to a specific user within your PowerApps app, you should create a connection to Office 365 Outlook and add it as a data source within your PowerApps app firstly. More details about sending emails via Office 365 Outloook within PowerApps, please check the following article:

Send emails via Office 365 Outlook within PowerApps

 

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:9.JPGThe OnSelect property of the Button control set to following formula:

Office365.SendEmail("Test3@xxxxxx.xxmicrosoft.com","Send email from PowerApps","Item: "&Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,First_x0020_name&" "))

The received email shows up as below:10.JPG

 

 

Best regards,

Kris

What if I want to send it to an email address that is from my list?

Attached is what i am working on now.  The email address is a result of a drop down selection RMA Contact.

This is the email address i want my button to send to onselect.

The current syntax does not work, can you help me find out what is wrong here?

Hope this helps.

@ChinoDoesStuff- Do you have a link to the video that doesn't require a Google Apps account?

@jbachman - I have provided a link to the video that I posted on YouTube... Are you not able to get to it?

Everytime I try to access one of those videos on YouTube, it wants a Google Apps account, which unlike a regular Google account, isn't free.
