Shoutout New and Errors in template

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Why do I have so many errors and I haven't done anything but open the template? When I try and send a Shoutout it doesn't go anywhere it just sends me an email? The YouTube videos make it seem to simple but it won't work for me. It is connected to Outlook and Outlook 365.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Could you show me your error messages?

    Could you describe more clearly about what did you do?

    I've made a similar test but not met the same problem like your description.

    Here's my test:

    I click this in the template selections:

    Click "create"

     

    11117.PNG

    Click "Allow"

    11118.PNG

     Then, the app has been created successfully and has no error.

     

    About the send email function, please check the formula in SendConfirmationScreen's OnVisible.

    Those formulas decide who the email send to. In the template, the only email address is your email address(_myProfile.UserPrincipalName).

    If you want to change it, please refer this:

    Office365.SendEmail(inputTo.Text, inputSubject.Text, inputBody.Text)

    //inputTo.Text: to email address

    inputSubject.Text: email subject

    inputBody.Text: email content

    If you want to send to multiple email addresses, you could use ";" to connect them.

    For example: 

    Office365.SendEmailV2(_myProfile.UserPrincipalName ; emailaddress2, "Shoutout!", LookUp(Templates, Template="Email").Value, {Importance: "Normal"})

     

    Here's a doc about this connector for your reference:

    I was mislead by the Microsoft tutorial that made it look very easy to use this template. I have done what was suggested but I don't feel confident using this in my organization. I didn't realize I would have to play around with formulas and errors that I don't understand. We have almost 3000 employees and if I can't even get this template to send one Shoutout as a test then there are bound to be so many issues with the app that it isn't worth spending anymore of my time on. I'm truly disappointed that the YouTube video from the person who created the App made it seem so straightforward.

     

    Thanks for trying to help
