Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All, 

 

I have a list box that populates with PersonNames after a search from the user. 

Is there a way to highlight one of these names and once highlighted a button ('send email') will appear?

 

I have connected outlook365 to my app. Ideally, I would like the user to click 'send email' button and then a draft email will pop up with the PersonName email address automatically added. 

 

Thank you in advance for the help 🙂

    This can be achiveable, when you click on 'Send Email" action, then you can show a group of fields which having defualts values.

     

    On Send email button : UpdateContext({PopUpEmail:true}))

    OnStart/OnVisible Screen :  UpdateContext({PopUpEmail:false}))

     

    On Group which is having fields and send mail action - Onvisible - PopUpEmail

     

    and last, once you send email successfully, set this popupemail varialbe to false.
