Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a button that when pressed I want it to send an email to a specific user with the information selected via a combobox.

Run("email@email.com.au","Item"&Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,AllowedValues))

this is the code I am using but it is coming up with error "Invocation of unknown or unsupported functions.

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you want to send an Outlook email to a specific user within your PowerApps app?

I assume that you want to send an Outlook email to a specific user within your PowerApps app, I think there is something wrong with the formula that you provided.

If you want to send an outlook email to a specific user within your PowerApps app, you should create a connection to Office 365 Outlook and add it as a data source within your PowerApps app firstly. More details about sending emails via Office 365 Outloook within PowerApps, please check the following article:

Send emails via Office 365 Outlook within PowerApps

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:The OnSelect property of the Button control set to following formula:

Office365.SendEmail("Test3@xxxxxx.xxmicrosoft.com","Send email from PowerApps","Item: "&Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,First_x0020_name&" "))

The received email shows up as below:

Best regards,

Kris

@ChinoDoesStuff- Do you have a link to the video that doesn't require a Google Apps account?

Everytime I try to access one of those videos on YouTube, it wants a Google Apps account, which unlike a regular Google account, isn't free.

Well, I found out from another user that for some reason, the videos will play fine via mobile device but for whatever reason it wants a Google Apps account for viewing on desktop. Makes no sense to me, but it was something I would have never thought to try with the error it was giving.
