Send Email from an external (non-Microsoft) account

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 510

Hi. I cannot find useful results for this query online. maybe because it is not possible?
I would like to run a flow using my Microsoft account (which is required) but when I send an email, I want it to be sent via my company's domain account, not the signed in Microsoft account or any other Office365 account.
So I want to be able to connect to an externally hosted mailbox (mail@mydomain.com) and send email from my flow so that the recipient receives the email from me@mydomain.com .
Is this possible? Is there a Premium connector for this?

    Hello,

     

    Are they using Exchange? Or is it Gmail or what are they using?

     

    You can use send email v2 from within your flow, but create a connection using other credentials.

     

    The only other way is 

    a) if that provider has a connector (and you haven't said who it is so I dont know)

    b) use the HTTP Connector to talk to their SMTP end point (assuming they have one, or if they have an API)

     

    There are several ways but it depends on their end points, how its protected etc. 

    Cheers

    Hi Michael. Thank you for the response. I will find out about the mailbox. It is possible they have an API as we use it with other applications. I will look at the HTTP connector. Haven't used it before.

    @FLMike- You assisted me in another post. I am using the SMTP connector and it works great.
