Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hey,

I would like to ask if it is possible to change the sender in sending an email with options to a shared mailbox?
Right now support team from my company created a shared mailbox in outlook for me.
Unfortunately, I don't have password, but I think is necessary for create new connection.

If you have any advice I'll be very thankful.

Best regards

Hello,
1. do you use this connector: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/office365/#send-an-email-from-a-shared-mailbox-(v2)
2. do you (your account) have permissions to access shared mailbox ?
3. if yes, you should be able to give shared mailbox address in connector and use your credential when prompted (?)

The short answer is no - you can't use the send an email with options from a Shared Mailbox.

You might be able to us an adaptive card but I believe that requires a premium license.

Hello @vnobosa,

thank you for answer.

1) I've used this connector Office 365 Outlook - Connectors | Microsoft Docs
2) Shared mailbox appears in my outlook, but as for the shared mailbox password, unfortunately I don't have it yet.
3) That's what I've tried to do but I think I need wait for password...

Hello @ScottShearer,

I've found this article: Power Automate: How to Send an email with options from a Shared Mailbox - About365
Maybe this is solution.
Does anybody try to do something like this?

That looks like a very creative workaround. Give it a try!

Hi,

I tried it out and it was a great workaround. Cool is also, that then, when the option was selected by the user, the first flow receives this then and suceeds. It's very creative. I like it.
