Hello everyone, I've tried power automate on browser, and created a flow that remind someone to do their own task by sending an email on friday at a specified time every week. I watched youtube and could do it with my microsoft account. It did send email to another account to remind.
Anyway, my company has assigned me to do the same flow but the thing is everything I did above is work on cloud (microsoft server- I guess ). My company has its own server and everyone has their own account. I don't know how to access mail server of my company and use power automate desktop app to create scheduled flow that I mentioned above.
Of couse, we've purchased MS 2013 and we used outlook 2013 to send email inside our company. They also have plan to buy office 365 in the future too.
So, what I want to ask is: Does power automate desktop app can link with outlook in desktop (not on cloud like 2 account of mine) and create scheduled flow like I mentioned ? And could you show me how to do it?
Thank you
Thank you so much
Hi @Anonymous,
When you install Power Automate Desktop, it won't automatically detect these settings. When you add the "send email... " action, there is a set of parameters that you will provide that will allow this action to run correctly. You don't have to write any code, it's just configuration in the following screen.
Thanks
You mean by set-up Power Automate Desktop, It's automatically connect to our company's mail server or we have to setup something ?
About the link you posted we don't know much about code so I don't understand.
Hi @Long1111
You can create a Power Automate Desktop flow that sends an email through the "Send email through Outlook" action (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/ui-flows/desktop/actions-reference/outlook#sendemailthroughoutlook) or use the "Send Exchange email message" action, depending on your setup.
Once this flow is working you can call it from a flow that has a set schedule as a trigger (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/ui-flows/desktop/link-pad-flow-portal)
Thanks
