Using a Contact Group in Outlook to send an email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to pull a contact group from my Outlook Contacts to send an email to the people in this list.  The issue is the members may change as there is turnover, so I want to work with the group so that any updates to that group are captured when sending the recurring email.  However, I have been unable to determine how to identify the group as a means of sending the email.  I tried get contacts, but when I type in the name to the filter Item Id section, it does not find the contact group name in Outlook.  Below is the error first and my flow second.

I tried with send an email, but could not find my Contact Group in that step as well.  Any point in the right direction would be helpfull.  This is my first attempt at a flow and I'm hoping this will help save a lot of time once I add the steps below.  I just don't want to accidentily send an email to my entire contact list.

 

Thanks!!

    Hi @KevinIO ,

     

    You couldn't enter the contact name in the Item Id field in the Get contact action, the Item Id field in the Get contact action require a contact id to be entered, please refer to screenshot below to create the flow:
