Office365 Connector - How to validate an email address?

The user enters an email into a text box and I am trying to check it exists.

Is there a way of passing this email to the Office365 connector and check it exists?

If the email exists I then run my patch code to save the record.

Any code example appreciated

Thanks

Not exactly the same thing, but you could use the email address as the parameter for a call to get the user's profile. If the profile isn't null then the user exists and the email address is valid. It wouldn't work for anyone who has never logged in to Office 365 or for external users. But it should work for any internal user.

Add the following to the visible property of a label that says "Email Does Not Exist" where txtEmail is the textbox the user types the email address into.

If(IsBlankOrError(Office365Users.UserProfileV2(txtEmail.Text)),true,false)

Then add a similar function to the displaymode property of the button to submit.

If(IsBlankOrError(Office365Users.UserProfileV2(txtEmail.Text)),DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

If the email has a profile then the button will activate. If not the button will stay disabled and the error message will activate.

Thanks, I think that will work up to a point,
I did find one user in the Office365 connector did not have an email address.
So although it would detect a profile, in some instances it would not be a valid email if one does not exist.
