Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Is there no connections existed within your app, and you want to send an email using SendEmail() function?

Further, do you want to send a Collection to a specific user via email?

Firstly, if there is no connections existed within your app, there is no way to send an email within PowerApps. SendEmail() function is not supported within PowerApps (this function is not an built-in function within PowerApps).

If you want to send an email within PowerApps, you could consider take a try to create a connection to Office 365 Outlook connector, then send an email using Office365.SendEmail() function. Please check the following article fore more details:

In addition, currently, there is no way to send a Collection to a specific user via an email within PowerApps directly. As an alternative solution, you could consider take a try to convert your Collection into a Html table data, then put the Html table data within the email body, then send this email.

Please check and see if the following blogs would help in your scenario:
