Send an email from PowerApps 08-08-2018 03:29 AM

This is a quick video that walks you through connecting your Office 365 Outlook account so you can send emails directly from PowerApps. It also shows you how to accept inputs for that email and how to use a button. Fancy stuff.

Hi Shane,

Thank You so much for your videos they ahve been a huge help to me.

Just one question. Is there a way to designate a  specific email address to have the collection sent from?

I have created a storefront and I want our storefront email to be the one the confirmation emails are sent from.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

@thicks you can specify the from property of the email in the same place you specify the attachments. Just make sure the user who will be running the App has send on behalf permissions in Exchange for that email address. 

Office365.SendEmail("Shane@email","Email Subject", "Email Body", {From:"FromEmail@email"})

Hi Shane, 

i watched your video too and i also tried to connect the Power App with the Office 365 Outlook connect.

When trying to log in with the e-mail address, I have the following problem.

 Translated text from the error:

The REST API is not supported for this mailbox. This error

can occur for sandbox accounts (test) or for accounts located

on a dedicated (local) e-mail server. clientRequestId:

1b3994f1-a361-4463-afcc-b12cb2d1f6b6

Do you know how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Sorry I was out of town last week. Did you make any headway? Is the account you are using an Office 365 email account? Anything special about the account? Are there any scenarios you can get the send email function to work? What if you hard code everything?

Office365.SendEmail("Shane@example.com", "Subject Line", "Body")

Hi Shane,

No worries. Thanks for the follow up. I learned from our co's IT folks that some of our mailboxes are Exchange accounts, and some are outlook/omicrosoft.com cloud accounts. Mine happens to be an exchange account (not cloud). So, instead of calling the 'Office365' function, set up a Flow event using the Mail connection within PA.

Best,

Jack

Can you help me please with making the Flow and the Powerapps funktion? @TheBeanStalk

We have also our own Exchange accounts (not cloud). and I would like to send a Email to a User which is written inside the Powerapps App in a Textbox

Hi. instead of sending the email directly by clicking a button, is it possible to trigger the pop up to compose new email (for editing) instead?

Did you get a response to this? I also would like to send an email to the person entered in the TextInput box. Textinput box is connection to office365 and is people/person column in SharePoint.
