Hi
I am trying to build a flow to notify a user when the task is completed but I don't want to be sent automatically. I want the flow to pop up the email as a draft and the user will click send.
thank you very much for your help!
The send an email (v2) action uses the outlook connection of the person who created the flow. Another user can't have the email coming from them unless they have full privileges on the email account of the flow creator - a very bad idea. This is not the case with an app in Power Apps as the send an email (v2) uses the connection of the person who clicked the button in the app. So that is one way round it if you really need to have the email "from" come from the user.
HI @jo007, there's no action in Flow to do that. You can send an email when the task is completed but it will go automatically and the flow will go from you as the creator of it unless you use a "Send an email notification (v3)" in which case it will go from Microsoft PowerApps and Flow.
The only possible variation is to use a "Start and wait for approval" action when the task is completed and the user is the approver so gets notified that the task is complete. But any subsequent email will still be sent from you or Microsoft PowerApps and Flow.
