Trouble with using outlook and patch together.

Is there a way to use these together? I can send an email but I need it to pull from Outlook not my Yahoo.

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(Patch(

If I add the 365 in front of the patch, it will not combine. I get the red squiggly.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Are you using this connector correctly? The first argument of the connector function call should be the "To:" email address. What are you trying to achieve with using a Patch() in this spot?

Hi @GeminiWorks

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to combine the Patch with Office365Outlook() function?

Could you please share a bit more about the scenario?

Actually, you could not insert the Patch() function into the Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2() function.

Each function has its own parameters and expected data type, please check the following parameters the Office365Outlook.SendEmail owns.

You could see that each expected data type in the Office365Outlook.SendEmail() function, however the Patch() function returns a Table data type that is not matched to any expected data type in the Office365Outlook.SendEmail() function.

In a word, you could not refer to a table as the parameter in the Office365Outlook.SendEmail() function for the mismatched data type.

I'm trying to use the fields in my table to send an email using outlook and not open personal email accounts on the mobile app:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(Patch('Contacts',Defaults('Contacts'),{Email: "Email", FirstName: "FirstName", LastName:"LastName"});
Launch("mailto:"&ContactEmail

Have a look at this blog for some real-life examples of how to use this connector. There should be no need to use a Launch() with a mailto: afterwards. The Patch() usage here will not work for this purpose.

You should be supplying three strings as arguments to this connector: The destination email address(es), the subject of the email, and the email contents.

The email account used by this connector is the one supplied as a connection by the currently-logged in user. You may have seen some prompts as you added the connector to your app - other users will see a similar prompt asking them to authorize using their email account to send emails in this way.

Hope that helps,

Bryan
