Using Distribution email as the connector

Hello,

 

I am currently building a flow and I would like to use a distribution email address as the connection instead of using my email.  Is this possible? If it is, how can I set up the connection?

 

Thanks

    In fact "Send an email (V2)" action has the field "From (Send as)". Just place any address you wish there.

    I tried doing that. However, it is not adding the distribution email address, it kept adding my email. I am the owner of the distribution email.

     

    I can add the distribution email as an owner but cant seem to add it as a connection

    Hi @jannet,

     

    How about creating the connection via connection management:

    I tried that. However, it is not adding the distribution email address. It keeps adding my email as the connection.

    Hi @jannet,

     

    You could click the ellipsis, then click the add new connection to set up a new Outlook connection:
