Send An Email Notification Using Office 365 Outlook Connector In PowerApps

Introduction

This article is a follow-up to my previous articles listed below. If you wish to first understand the basic connectors (Mail and Outlook.com) used in PowerApps you can refer to the below articles first and come back here for the Office365Outlook connector and its relevant out-of-the-box actions.

Office365Outlook Connector

Office365Outlook connector is a cloud-based service that is designed to help build reliable applications according to your business requirements.

In this article, you will see Office365Outlook connector actions available out of the box in Power Apps as well the deprecated actions which will be eventually removed.

The throttling limit remains the same as the Outlook.com connector that is 300 API calls per connection and renewed after 60seconds.
