Send a mail from the user's office365/outlook email address when a control is used

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

Im quite new to powerapps but I've created an app to gather feedback and send to a distribution group with specific criteria populated. I used a flow that sends a mail when a button is clicked but the issue Im having is that in the flow I only have the option to ask in powerapps for the message subject or body and cant use the users email or office 365 signed in address.

 

How can I set the app so that when it is shared the flow or button when activated will send an email to the distribution group using their email account?

At the moment when I share the app the email will not send as it tries to send the email through my email address.

 

Thanks for your help!

    If the only action in the Flow is sending mail, you can call the SendMail function of Office 365 Outlook connector on the Button.OnSelect() directly in PowerApps. This will ensure that the mail is sent using the user's credentials and account. (See details here: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/connection-office365-outlook/)

     

    Additionally, if you use the Office 365 Outlook.Send Mail function in the flow, it should also result in the same behavior.
