Using personal email account to Send an email (V2) to recipients instead of my power automate account.

Hi community,

 

I would be glad if you could help me out on this challenge. I have a flow that uses the Send an email (V2) Outlook action. I don't want the email to be sent from my account thus the account I used to create the flow but rather, I want the email to be sent to recipients mail with my regular email account. I tried  to use the "From(Send as)" field but it gives me error "You are not authorized to send mail on behalf of the specified sending account." 

 

I want to use an email account that is not registered on Microsoft 365.

 

Please any solution to this challenge?

    Hi @King_Kelly 

     

    have you created connections for your personal account via this highlighted option ?

    Is your "regular" account within your tenant? If so, open Outlook with your regular account and choose File > Account Settings > Delegate Access. It will open this menu:

    You can then give access to your workflow account to send e-mail on your behalf. However, when the flow sends e-mails with this method, they will say something like sent on behalf of.
