Sending the details of a form, in an email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 423

I have a power app which works as a contact list/address book, which works great for the team, although an issue arose this week where one of the team was asked to forward the details of a contact to another department. Therefore they asked me if I could add a button to send an email contact card to the guy.

 

I have been able to create an icon and pop up dialogue box, but I have come unstuck as I cannot for the life in me get a ComboBox to access the office 365 Users data source to find addresses. On top of that I don't even know where to start regarding the OnSelect property of the button which will send the contact card, in order for the information to make sense. 


The fields I would need to include are the Title(Name), Address, Contact Name and Contact Number although there is a likelihood in the future there will be a need for more information. Although, I am sure the first few fields will show a pattern I could follow.

    Hi @nshaw75 ,

    Example for the Name using the user's email - you will need quotes "" around it if it is typed in.

    Office365Users.UserProfileV2(UserEmailHere).displayName

    below are all the other fields you can access

    Hi @WarrenBelz 

     

    Many thanks for looking at this. Sorry I haven't responded sooner as I have tried a few times on Saturday morning and got so frustrated I turned my laptop and threw it in the car to enjoy the sunny weekend. I have come back this morning and seem to be completely lost.  I knew I should have persevered on Saturday.

     

    I had created a new Sharepoint List to log emails sent and linked the Combo Box to the Recipient field. Alas I can't get it to behave at all.
