Hi, When I am trying to send mail through power apps. By default from address is default current user mail address . Instead mail should be triggered from a common mail address to ther user.

Thanks in advance ..

Hello,

Unfortunatly,
It is impossible to 'send as' an email directly from powerapps. Because the app should be able to consider that the shared mailbox is accessible by all users of the app.
To be able to achieve this, it is necessary to patch a record in a data source with the content and the recipient of the email and to create a power automaton flow which will be triggered when a new record is created and send an email from the shared box

Hi @Shahin1 ,

You can send "from" in Power Apps providing the user has access to the mail box

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( "abc@xyz.com", "SubjectHere", "BodyHere", {From: "from@email.com"} )

I also found this video from Shane Young @Shanescows - start about the 10 minute mark.

Hello,
First, you need a datasource to store your email sends requests, you can use a sharepoint list like this one :
Then, create a Power Automate Automated cloud flow and select "When an item is created" trigger :

Then,
- configure your "when an item is created" trigger with your SP site / list
- add an action "send an email V2" (outlook)
- optionnaly, delete the temp sharpeoint item
For sending email from a shared mailbox, use "from (send as)" in advanced options:

In your application, in the onselect off your send email control, patch your list with a new record :

Patch(TempMailSend,defaults(TempMailSend),{Title: Text(Now(),Shortdate),From: user().Email, To: TextInputRecipient.Text,Subject: TextInputSubject.Text, Body: TextInputBody.Text})

The mail will be send from the Flow's owner email (or shared mailbox set in "send as")
