Posted on by vysta

I have a PowerApp displaying emails for users and I want to be able to have the user open the email by selecting from PowerApps and launching the selected email in OWA. Is this possible? Would I need to use Power Automate?

@vysta - I am guessing you are using Outlook.com connector in your app to display emails. If so, you could try something like this:
Set( gblEmailOWAUrl, "https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/" & EncodeUrl(First(colEmail).ConversationId) ); Launch(gblEmailOWAUrl)
Note: colEmail in my example above is a collection of emails loaded by calling Get Emails.

Hi @vysta ,

Please try to put the following code to OnSelect property of Email label.

Launch("https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink/compose?to=" & Self.Text &"&subject=Customer Service Request&body=Add+Your+Request+here")

Hope this helps.

Yes, @UdayAdhikari that launches OWA but it does not open the selected email from PowerApps. I would like to open the actual email message in OWA or at least default select the message so it is the correct one being previewed

@vysta - I would confirm that the email is in Inbox folder and not in other folders. Here is a base code that I was testing with and I am able to open emails fine. Note: Change first part of the URL as required, I was testing against my personal outlook email address with no Office 365 license.

@UdayAdhikari That did the trick! I changed the URL to Launch("https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/"&EncodeUrl(Gallery1.Selected.ConversationId)) and was off to the races!

Thank you!
