Feature details

In Power Automate cloud flows classic designer, especially in Outlook and Teams actions, such as sending email or posting message, makers could start typing email addresses of person they want to reference in the To field. The designer would then start querying for email addresses available in the tenant and filter by the keyword as they are typing. With this process, makers don't need to write the full email address. They can also search for person's name.

Now, you can either type the name of the person or starting keywords of their email address, and the designer helps you with a dropdown menu of potential matches based on your keyword. This can vastly improve the flow development time for makers.

In the modern designer, today the email suggestions don't show.

Classic designer supported the email suggestions.
