Hey guys,

I'm using the Power Automate function "Click a button in Power Apps to send an email" in PowerApps.

Is it possible to add an collection of mails instead of one single as receiver?

And if yes how should the collection be structured?

Hi @Cedric0404

I am going to assume you are following instructions similar to the following page:
https://global-sharepoint.com/power-platform/powerapps/powerapps-send-email/?expand_article=1

When you add a Flow to a Power App and select "Click a button in Power Apps to send an email", that is creating a Flow for you to use. That flow has three parameters. The one you are interested in is the first parameter "Sendanemail(V2)_To".

For the OnSelect of a button, your code would be:
ClickabuttoninPowerAppstosendanemail.Run("user1@yourdomain.com;user2@yourdomain.com;user2@yourdomain.com","Test Email","Test Body");

The first parameter is the list of email addresses you want the email to go to separated by ";"

If all you want to do is send an email, you could instead add a Connection to Office365Outlook and use the:
Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/office365/#send-an-email-(v2)

This would keep everything within the App

If you wanted to do it that way, take a look at this article by @mdevaney :

Hi @Cedric0404,

If you just want to send an email, I think there is no need to use the flow, you could achieve this in Power Apps.

Actually, that depends on if you want to send email for each user or send single email to multi users.

Add a button and set the OnSelect property as below:

ForAll( Collection As mailTo, Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( mailTo.Email, TextInput_Subject.Text, "Hi " & mailTo.Name & ", <br><br>" & TextInput_Body.Text ) )

Or, to send send single email to multi users.

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( Concat(Collection,Email,";"), TextInput_Subject.Text, "Hi " & mailTo.Name & ", <br><br>" & TextInput_Body.Text ) )

Hi @Cedric0404

How are you building your Collection? Post some code on where your email addresses are coming from or provide a description.

@v-qiaqi-msft is really trying to help you. You should throw a Kudo or thumbs up their way.

To use
Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2
add a Data Connection like this:

so the add button you can see on the screenshots collects the mail entered in the textinput and reset it so another mail can be added to the collection. I want to send a mail now to this created collection of mails.

Btw how do I throw a Kudo?😂
