How to send email without using Office365Outlook.SendEmail function

Posted on by trungle

Hi all,

I know my question is kinda silly but please bare with me 😅.

My situation is that my company is using office ProPlus license but Outlook is still on-premise so I cannot connect outlook 365 to my Power App for the SendEmail function. And the company also restricts the use of 3rd party app too. About gateway, I don't have permission to do so.

I want that after clicking submit button, an email will be sent to some recipients (recipients data fed from input fields). So far, I have tried many ways and I could only use Notifications.SendEmailNotification() and it only sends email to me.

So my question is: "Can I adjust Notifications.SendEmailNotification() in a way that I could add more recipient beside myself" by editing JSON file for example.

Or is there any other way to send email to people by email when a button is clicked?

Thanks🤗🤗

Try using Mail Connector:

Hi @trungle ,

Do you want to send an email to multiple users (not just yourself) without using Office365Outlook.SendEmail() function?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think the Notification connector could not achieve your needs. The Notifications.SendNotification() function could only send email notification to yourself.

As an alternative solution, I think the Mail connector could achieve your needs. You could consider add a connection to Mail connector from your app, then set the OnSelect property of the "Send Email" button to following:

Mail.SendEmailV3( "user1@emai.com;user2@email.com;user3@email.com", // you could type multiple email address here, separated with semicolon (;) "Email Subject", "Email Body Message", true )

Please consider take a try with above formula on your side, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Hi @trungle ,

If your company restricts the use of all third-party Mail connectors supported in PowerApps, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

Currently, all connectors supported in PowerApps, please check the following article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/

If you have permission to create custom connector within PowerApps, you could consider create a custom connector based on Microsoft Graph REST API, then defined a action within this connector to send an email.

More details about creating a custom connector based on Microsoft Graph REST API, please check the following article:

https://gotoguy.blog/2017/12/17/access-microsoft-graph-api-using-custom-connector-in-powerapps-and-flows/

On your side, you need to defined a "Send email" action in your custom connector based on the following endpoint:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/sendMail

please check the following article for more details:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-sendmail?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

After that, you could use the custom connector action to send email to your end users.

Best regards,
