sending email with condition

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am in need of help to incorporate some changes in my apps developed by powerapps.

## @ links to members, content:

I want to send email to some specific person when selected a value from dropdown list and send email to another person when selected another value from dropdown list.

## I want to send this email by clicking submit button with the user input field

Can anyone help me out ?I will be grateful........

Hi @Anonymous ,

Firstly, you will need to either hard-code the email required for the drop-down value or have a reference list with the name required (for the drop-down) and their email address. Assuming you have the second, you could use the Office365Outlook.SendEmail connector to send the mail. The Items property of the drop-down would be

YourReferenceListName.YourNameField

So as an example, a button could do this

Office365Outlook.SendEmail(
   Lookup(
      YourReferenceListName,
      YourNameField = YourDropdownName.Selected.YourNameField,
      YourEmailFieldName
   ),
   "Subject content here",
   "Body content here"
)

and a dropdown named "appdrop" with items

If(areadrop.Selected.Value="IT",["","Hardware Issue","Software issue","others"],areadrop.Selected.Value = "Brand",["","Galax","IBP"],areadrop.Selected.Value="CD",["","DMS","HHT","B2B"],areadrop.Selected.Value="Finance",["","Tracker","HT","B2B1"],areadrop.Selected.Value = "Supply Chain",["","Hermes","Customer Solution","TagIt"],areadrop.Selected.Value = "HR",["","Pro","Are"],["","hi","hlw"])

actually i want to set particular name for emailing for selecting particular dropdown.

For example,if one selects area:HR,and application :HLW,then send email to some particular people and if select Area:HR and application:HI,then send email to another particular person.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The easiest way would be a collection - firstly if you are sending the mail based on the Department, fairly easy - you could run at App OnStart

ClearCollect(
   colEmails,
   {
      Dept: "IT",
      MailAdd: "IT@xxx.com"
   },
   {
      Dept: "Brand",
      MailAdd: "Brand@xxx.com"
   },
   {
      Dept: "CD",
      MailAdd: "CD@xxx.com"
   },
   {
      Dept: "Finance",
      MailAdd: "Finance@xxx.com"
   },
   {
      Dept: "Supply Chain",
      MailAdd: "SupplyChain@xxx.com"
   },
   {
      Dept: "HR",
      MailAdd: "HR@xxx.com"
   }
)

A lot more coding if you want the other dropdown.

The email would be

Office365Outlook.SendEmail(
   Lookup(
      colEmails,
      Dept = areadrop.Selected.Value,
      MailAdd
   ),
   "Subject content here",
   "Body content here"
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

Firstly I was only showing you the syntax you might want to use, not trying to write code for you.

What is the error you are getting and on what part of the code?

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

I know that you are giving me direction on syntax,thats why i tried to apply this code in a sample demo app to see whether it works perfectly.

Email submit button error

Hi @Anonymous ,

**** Update  ****

I have just run the exact code and put my email in IT and received a mail.

NOTE:  If testing, you need to run App OnStart (three dots to the right of App the Run OnStart to get the collection). In normal running, this will happen when opening.
