send an email to an O365 group

[Olaf Nennker]

Hi, I want to be able to send an email message to a specific O365 group from a SharePoint site.
Is that possible? Is there a Web Part with corresponding form fields?

You could connect flow to forms to do it, but the quick and easy way is use Text webpart. Put in your text and then hyperlink to mailto:groupaddress@company.com

Not sure it this is what you need, but another way is to use the list view and add a customer format for the column with the person in.

Create a list, add a person field. Then click on the column header and format this column as follows:

A panel will open at the right, allowing you to paste in json.

Info for setting this up can be found here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting

I just pasted one of the example on that page, and it created the little red email icon in the pic above. When clicking on that it opens a pre-defined email template.

Here's the json I from the example, which I then tweaked as I needed:

{ "elmType": "div", "children": [ { "elmType": "span", "style": { "padding-right": "8px" }, "txtContent": "@currentField.title" }, { "elmType": "a", "attributes": { "iconName": "Mail", "class": "sp-field-quickAction", "href": { "operator": "+", "operands": [ "mailto:", "@currentField.email", "?subject=Task status&body=Hey, how is your task coming along?.\r\n---\r\n", "@currentField.title", "\r\nClick this link for more info. http://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ConferencePrep/Tasks/Prep/DispForm.aspx?ID=", "[$ID]" ] } } } ] }

It can be a person or a group is the same.

To not use a person column and use a column with an email address (group email name) I used this json, note my field name is [$Key_x0020_Contact_x0020_Email] you would need to change that for your field name:

{
"elmType": "div",
"children": [
{
"elmType": "span",
"style": {
"padding-right": "8px"
},
"txtContent": "@currentField"
},
{
"elmType": "a",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "Mail",
"class": "sp-field-quickActions",
"href": {
"operator": "+",
"operands": [
"mailto:",
"[$Key_x0020_Contact_x0020_Email]",
"?subject=\r\n---\r\n"
]
}
}
}
]
}

Hi and thank you. I don`t know how to change the field name.

I want to send the text an attachments to the group.

I  don`t know what you mean with the text Webpart.

When I want to create a new app, there is no ext Webpart.

Do you have a screenshot?

[#7]

Yeah a text webpart from editing a modern page.

Are you on SharePoint Online? You tagged it as such. Are you using a modern page or a classic page?

The other thing is, you said e-mail a group, do you want the person using the page to send the e-mail via their mail client? if so all you need is to put a mailto: link somewhere on the page with the group e-mail address and a subject line parameter. If you want an actual form that send's an e-mail to the group that asks for inputs then your'e going to have to create a custom power app list form to accomplish this, or use an older SharePoint workflow on a list.

If you are using a person then use the original jason.

If you are using a text field then you need to go through the json and change the name. For your field called group the json would be:

{
"elmType": "div",
"children": [
{
"elmType": "span",
"style": {
"padding-right": "8px"
},
"txtContent": "@currentField"
},
{
"elmType": "a",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "Mail",
"class": "sp-field-quickActions",
"href": {
"operator": "+",
"operands": [
"mailto:",
"[$Group]",
"?subject=\r\n---\r\n"
]
}
}
}
]
}

for sender it would be:

{
"elmType": "div",
"children": [
{
"elmType": "span",
"style": {
"padding-right": "8px"
},
"txtContent": "@currentField"
},
{
"elmType": "a",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "Mail",
"class": "sp-field-quickActions",
"href": {
"operator": "+",
"operands": [
"mailto:",
"[$Sender]",
"?subject=\r\n---\r\n"
]
}
}
}
]
}

Hi Stephen,

Thank You.
But ' Change the name ': What word do I need to change?
The Mail icon is not displayed.

No email will be sent.

 

It would be best if the message I would not only stored in the list, but it would be sent automatically with the save. (button "speichern")

 

Best regards

Olaf
