Dear Community,

i build an app in power app with a form that can be filled by an user. When the user submits his entries in the form they'll be updated in an connected sharepoint list. Simultaneously i wanted with the click on the submit button that the user and the admin will get an email. In the user mail there should be a summary of some of his entries and in the admin mail there should also be a summary and an additional option to set an appointment.

My first approach to this challenge was to write an power automate flow and connect it to the power apps button.

There i currently face two problems:

1. when i just test the flow, that send an email to the user, the flow gets "stucked" in the "when an item is created" part (longest test was 23 hours then i canceled the test)

2. when i try to add a second "send an email (V2) part to the flow it automatically gets transformed to "apply to each"

i'll be very happy for any suggestions to solve this problems - thank you!

To solve your first problem, I suggest checking if there are any errors in your flow. You can do this by clicking on the “i” icon next to the “when an item is created” part of your flow. This will show you any errors that may be preventing your flow from running correctly.

To solve your second problem, I suggest using a “send an email” action instead of “send an email (V2).” The “send an email” action allows you to send an email to multiple recipients without having to use “apply to each.” You can add multiple recipients by separating their email addresses with semicolons.

Hey @HamidBee ,

thank your very much for your help.

1. there's currently no error in the flow, i checked the flow checker. Also when i test the flow manually it says that it runs successfully. Only when i use it in the app it gets stuck in the "When an item is created"-part

2. the only other options i have there are:
- send email with options
- send an email from shared mailbox (V2)
- send an HTTP request
wich one should i use?

You can't have "When an item is created" as an action within a flow. It can only be the first action as a trigger.
