I use the PowerApps Contact template. I wanted to add a function to save the selected contact to Outlook. So i created a flow with a PowerApp trigger. Then i try to Create a contact. But is not possible tot select the given name or an e-mail address.

In the app i have a button with the following code: What am i doing wrong?

SaveContactinOutlook.Run(First(EmployeeProfile).Id, First(EmployeeProfile).GivenName; Notify("Contact saved successfully in Outlook contact list "))

Hello,
You can send the email address or the email as a parameter in the trigger so that you can save it from power automate.

Best regards,
Alaa

Hi @Mirtemir ,

Do you want to Save contact to Outlook from PowerApps?

I have made a test for your reference.
1.Create a flow.
json(outputs('Compose'))
Schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "AccountEnabled": { "type": "boolean" }, "BusinessPhones": { "type": "array" }, "City": {}, "CompanyName": {}, "Country": {}, "Department": {}, "DisplayName": { "type": "string" }, "GivenName": { "type": "string" }, "Id": { "type": "string" }, "JobTitle": { "type": "string" }, "Mail": { "type": "string" }, "MailNickname": { "type": "string" }, "OfficeLocation": {}, "PostalCode": {}, "Surname": { "type": "string" }, "TelephoneNumber": {}, "UserPrincipalName": { "type": "string" }, "mobilePhone": {} } }

2.Create a app.
SaveContactinOutlook.Run(JSON(Office365Users.MyProfile()))

Hi thanks very much. The flow works. However, it saves the data of the logged in user that presses the button in Powerapp instead of the data of the collected user in the app. Is there a way to change that?

Hi @Mirtemir ,

You can put single or multiple users' data into a collection and then pass the collection to Flow.

1. Here is my SharePoint list.
2. Add a Check Box Control in the Gallery Template and apply the following formula on its OnCheck property as:

Collect(yourcollectionname,{displayname:ThisItem.personcolumnname.DisplayName,email:ThisItem.personcolumnname.Email,phone:ThisItem.phone})

3. Select the Check Box Control and apply the following formula on its OnUnCheck property as:

RemoveIf(yourcollectionname,ThisItem.personcolumnname.Email=email)

4. Add a Button Control and apply the following formula on its OnSelect property as:

YourFlowName.Run(JSON(yourcollectionname))

5. Create a Flow.

Best Regards,
Charlie Choi

Thanks!!! I used the collection and adjusted the flow to your example. And it works!! The JSON schema is now:

{ "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "AccountEnabled": { "type": "boolean" }, "BusinessPhones": { "type": "array" }, "Department": {}, "DisplayName": { "type": "string" }, "GivenName": { "type": "string" }, "Id": { "type": "string" }, "Mail": { "type": "string" }, "MailNickname": { "type": "string" }, "Surname": { "type": "string" }, "TelephoneNumber": {}, "UserPrincipalName": { "type": "string" }, "mobilePhone": {}, "JobTitle": { "type": "string" } } } }

Hi @v-yujincui-msft , i was a bit too early. The flow works because it creates a contact in Outlook from the Collectiondata. However, the Automateflow is created by user "Appmaker" and the PowerApp is used by everyone in the organization. Whenever someone saves the contact, the contact is saved in the contactfolder of "Appmaker" instead of the user that wants to save it. How can i change that?
