Use Power Automate to send an email from SharePoint

  • 5 minutes

By using the Office 365 Outlook and Mail connectors in Power Automate, you can send emails for workflows; however, be aware that emails are sent as if a user has sent them.

As shown in the following screenshot, the To field can be populated by entering only the user's email address. This workflow is applicable when an email notification is expected to be sent to and from users.

Additionally, you can create flows that send email notifications directly from SharePointOnline.com. You can use the Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action to create emails that come directly from SharePoint Online through the no-reply@sharepointonline.com mailbox.
