It worked. I worked on this all day and didnt think to just manually send it from my app every morning. haha! automation 101. if it take more time to automate it. you're doing it wrong....
Timing couldn't have been much better as I'm in the middle of a project that will require sending emails from within the App, after 3pm on Friday's so this concept will be handy. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciated
Oh man TY. This is actually kinda what I was doing today. I didnt even think to try the HTML method from within power apps. That seems much easier and more versitile. Night project!!
Thanks Shane, this is very helpful for my app. But my app also has some flows that are triggered based on certain values changing on a sharepoint list. Those all have me as sender no matter who uses the app, since I'm the owner. Also to add even more fun and complexity, the emails I'm sending are Send Email with Options which has no "From" field or Send As. I saw a video that talked about a shared mailbox and sending the mails twice to achieve this. Could you possibly do a video on that? I find your videos much more understandable. Or, if you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. Thank you very much for all you share with us.
Yeah, with the flows since they are triggered when an Item changes, they will be tied to the connection you specified in flow, usually the owner of the flow. Could you change the flow to be triggered by the app so it came from the person using the app? We have a similar internal process. What we did was created an account for HelpNow and then added it as a co-owner of the flow. Then used its connections. So now all of those emails come from HelpNow not me. 😊
Hi, Send email with HTML Control works perfectly in Edit Mod, but it doesn't work when published. Email is not send, it's like Power apps doesn't see this HTML control...How to face it?
My problem was that the mailto wouldn't recognize certain properties. My goal was to create a draft from my form into a table and list the attachments at the bottom. Every time I tried to do anything other than text from the control it would break everything. Eventually I ended up using power automate which is so redundant for something like this. And makes sending multiple attachments a headache I still haven't figured out. I wanted my users to just toggle control whether they wanted to send an email when they submit their form and then boom it opens a draft when they submit their data, in an HTML table and shows the attachments at the bottom. Another issue I always get criticism about is users not able to paste an image or multiple images, and that causes them to lose their form data by having to go take the image or screenshot, and start all over so now I gotta add a save component to my form just because power apps doesn't have a feature to let users pick up where they left off
Hi shane, Is there any way to pass the datasource dynamically in powerapps. Because i am having same list schemma but in different sharepoint site, i have a selection screen at the first. When the user selects the value from the dropdown. That datasource is loading now. But in my case, i have 4 datasource it is working as expected. If i add more datasource, the performance is getting reduced. Could you please suggest your thoughts over here
There is a From: optional parameter but, to use it, you have to have permissions to send as that user. About the 12:05 mark I talk through it a little bit.
@@ShanesCows Yes, Shane. I tried that as well. But what I want to achieve is to allow my PowerApps users to send emails on behalf of a particular email account. The catch is I cannot give permission to all of my users to do that. I know how to achieve that in Power Automate though. Thanks for the video, Shane
@@HPTeguh Glad to help. I will say for one of our internal processes we do the same and we used the SMTP connector. Just another random thought if it helps czcams.com/video/l8NJkauGJ7U/video.html
From a regular mailbox is easy czcams.com/video/MeQDIBrJjRg/video.html From a shared? I have never tried but I think the only chance is if you can do it via the Graph API. There is no built in action for it as far as I know.
User().Email is the formula to get the logged in users email. If you want the email to automatically go when someone submits a form, you can put the code in the OnSubmit property of the Form control.
It worked. I worked on this all day and didnt think to just manually send it from my app every morning. haha! automation 101. if it take more time to automate it. you're doing it wrong....
Yeah, once you start writing HTML craziness in Power Apps you almost never use Automate to do it anymore. :)

Deep Links concept... So Awesome. Loving this stuff Shane keep it coming
Deep linking is one of my favorites, opens so many doors.
@@ShanesCows would you be able to dynamically change the ID from the link? lets say based on the selected item from the gallery?
@@rlsid Yes, this video czcams.com/video/olJWU756tl0/video.html
Perfect timing! I am working on a project that needs this function. So thank you Shane. Question: Can you link this to a SharePoint mailing list?
Any valid email address will work in the To: 😎

Hi,
Send email with HTML Control works perfectly in Edit Mod, but it doesn't work when published. Email is not send, it's like Power apps doesn't see this HTML control...How to face it?
That is odd, that hasn't happened. Do you have the HTML control shown on the screen? That way you can confirm it has the info you think it does?
Any idea why the new modern button control don't has any tooltip? If we use just icons on buttons a hint would be a handy thing ....
Nope. The modern controls are a mixed bag of features 🙃
Can you help me? not work.. error 400, message: Paratamert, Attachment Content, cannot be null or empty.
Do you not have an attachment? You might need to add logic If(attachment is empty, don't try to send it) kind of thing

Yeah, not surprised that MailTo scenario doesn't work, it isn't the most robust of abilities in my experience.
Sorry it is causing you issues.

There isn't really a better way to do it. 🙃 Sorry.
@@ShanesCows ok 👍
Thanks Shane 🙏🙏🙏
Happy to help!
Is there a way to get emails from your outlook? Like getting all the emails you sent out last week from your outlook?
Yes, Office365Outlook.GetEmails() is where you can start and then work on filtering and refining from there. 😎
@@ShanesCows Awesome! Thanks 🙏
So it's still not possible to send email as other account as the sender (other than using Power Automate)
There is a From: optional parameter but, to use it, you have to have permissions to send as that user. About the 12:05 mark I talk through it a little bit.

Cool solution! Can an outlook event be created and sent from a shared mailbox?
From a regular mailbox is easy czcams.com/video/MeQDIBrJjRg/video.html
From a shared? I have never tried but I think the only chance is if you can do it via the Graph API. There is no built in action for it as far as I know.

Thanks for the support Colin. 👍
how do you send an email report of the submission to the user who submitted it?
User().Email is the formula to get the logged in users email. If you want the email to automatically go when someone submits a form, you can put the code in the OnSubmit property of the Form control.
🖱 ⌨ 🖥 😁 👍 ⚡ 👌🖥
Thanks
@@ShanesCows Thank you and you are welcome
