Work or School email and personal email not allowed. Why?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

There must be millions of potential users who do not have a work or school email address.  Like mke.  I am retired.

 

Can someone please explain the rationale for not allowing private individuals to use Power Automate?

 

Seems like discrimination against the elderly to me.

    Hi @trickyt57 ,

     

    The rational is spam control and is widely accepted, even outside of Microsoft.  An easy workaround for you is to buy a $0.99 domain such as somehwere.net, turn on your email service, you@somewhere.net and you know have a "Work account".

     

    Please mark as a solution and/or give me a thumbs up 👍🏽 for replying and volunteering my time! 🎗️  Always glad to help! Tom
