Posted on by okidoki

I'm very new to power apps and need some help.

I'm trying to send a copy of a form made in power apps, through the outlook connection.
I have connected Outlook, and also setup the connection, so that it works in the power apps editor online.
Except I get an error, when trying it out on my phone in the app itself.

Im using the "SendEmailV2" function, in the OnSucces of the EditForm.

As all user's email adress will build on the same form: "initials@companyname.com" I want to set the recipient as TextInput@companyname.com. The text input being the users initials.

But I get this error when using the app:

Any suggestions?

Hello @okidoki ,

Here you are giving the whole component to concatenate with "@companyname.com" where you actually need it's "Text" property.

Ok, so i've changed it to:

SendEmailV2((DataCardValue10.Text&"@companyname.com")....)

But I've still got the same error in app.
Again, it works on the computer (email recieved and all), but not in the app itself on the phone.

Hello @okidoki ,

The phone use the latest published version of your app.

Easy question, but have you published your app then reloaded Power Apps on your phone?

Hi @WiZey

Yes, that would have been a typical human error. But yes, phone uses the latest version of the app.
Still the same error message

If DataCardValue10 is a text box on your editform and you save this value to your SharePoint list/data source, I would suggest that you access this value through the LastSubmit property of the edit form.

SendEmailV2((EditForm1.LastSumit.YourEmailRecipientField & "@companyname.com")....)

This is because the form submission may reset the form and clear DataCardValue10, which is a possible explanation as to why it is appearing blank.

Yes, thank you. Changed it to send the email OnSelect, before the SubmitForm
