Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm experimenting with the new Shoutouts powerapp with our Office 365 users connection / variables. This is a pretty outstanding powerapp template. I've tested the tablet and phone versions.

I've reformated the powerapp weblink to my own weblink in both form submissions triggered at the "ConfirmMessageScreen."

I have a few obersvations/questions:

1) I can get records to save to the onedrive excel table from the tablet version, but not the phone. I get "An unexpected error occured" when submitting the phone verson.

2) In the tablet version, my shoutouts do not actually email to the recipients, but do register in the excel file and shoutouts homepage. My company accesses 365 through a "@corp.company" email but normally send emails through "@company" email addresses. When I email a message to my own @corp.company email through outlook (absent of powerapps) I do not receive the message (this is anticipated). What's good is Powerapps recognizes the SelectedUserMail as the email by which the user receives the shoutout (this is an @company email address), but I'm affraid the only way for them to receive the email is through the user sending the shoutout which is recognized within Powerapps as the (CreatorEmail = MyEmail) which is the @corp.company email address. I don't believe emailing through the 365 @corp.company email address will actually send a message (and may not as evidence by errors when submitting the shoutout:

1) Office365Users.Manager failed: status 404 "No user found with the specified id./r/nclientRequestId:

2) Office365.SendEmail failed: status 404 "message". "user account or mailbox does not exist/r/nclientRequestId:

Is there a way to change the Creator email from the @corp.company to @company? Maybe this will actually send the email. I've tried adding a "{From:" part to the code, but I'm not sure how to write the code to change the @corp.company to the @company.

Hi @higginsa1,

Thanks for your feedback. Could you please share a bit about where do you want to add “{From:” part?

If you want to specify From property within SendEmail() function, please take a try with the following formula:

Office365.SendEmail(To, Subject, Body,{From:"xxxxx@company.com",Cc:Text,Bcc:Text,Attachments:Table,Importance:Text,IsHtml:Boolean)

Best regards,

If(Not(UploadedImage1_1.Image = SampleImage),
    Office365.SendEmail(UserSelectedMail & ";" & Office365Users.Manager(UserSelectedPrincipalName).Mail, "Shoutout!", emailHtml,true; {From:"Sender@company.com", Attachments:Table({Name:"ShoutoutAttachment.jpg", ContentBytes:UploadedImage1_1.Image, '@odata.type':""}),
     Importance:"normal"}),
     Office365.SendEmail(UserSelectedMail & ";" & Office365Users.Manager(UserSelectedPrincipalName).Mail, "Shoutout!", emailHtml, {From:"Sender@company.com",IsHtml:true, Importance:"normal"}));
UpdateContext({emailHtml:""});
Set(ShoutOutMessage,"");
Navigate(SentConfirmationScreen,None)

By template design, {From: is not included. Writing it this way, I do not receive errors, but it also doesn't send an email. I typed my own email in the From: "" with no luck on firing an email. If it did work, it would be a weak fix as other users would be sending emails from my email address, probably with an error.
