Using dynamic content as email to send email from Form response
- Dec 10, 2020
pickledash yes this is very straightforward and a simple example is shown below:
I've used a shared mailbox as in my company we always use those instead of automated emails coming from an individual's email, but you could just as easily use the Send an email (v2) action. Make sure between the 2 cc addressees that you add a semi-colon:
And this is the result of the form in one of the cc addresses.
So if you are doing anything different to this, post a screenshot and we can have a look.

RobElliott ahh ok I see. So a work around for now could be that I grant everyone who will be filling out the form access to my outlook account and I will give them permission to send emails on my behalf? But then when the form is then emailed to whoever the email will come from the respondents email address? Sorry If I have misunderstood
pickledash that workaround is a really bad idea and certainly at my company (65,000 staff) is not allowed without a very good reason. You are much better creating & using a shared mailbox.

RobElliott Hi Rob, if I have access to a group inbox. Do you know how I would get the email that sends out the information from the Mircosoft Form to send from that group inbox instead of my own personal work email?

pickledash you need to use the Send an email from a shared mailbox (v2) action in Power Automate. In the image below the email is sent from the reippsupport shared mailbox:
