How to send email notification to "External email address" from workflow

Posted on by 370

There is a request from client to send workflow notification to external email addresss, such as @abc.com (current client email address).

i.e.) Send notification mail to manager, who was requested to approve purchase order.

After setting up all the email template, now I can send notification to xxxx@xxx.onmicrosoft.com (office user account/D365FO sign-in account),

but still can not find the way to send this to external one, sush as xxxx@abc.com.

In Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, I can not change the email in user settings page, since this linked with Office user account.

* If I change this email, I was not able to sign-in to D365FO with my account.

How can I send the notification to external email address from workflow activities?

Any reference would be appreciated.

Thank you for your support in advance.

Best regards, Mai

    Hi Andre and Ludwig,

    Thank you for your support.

    Actually, the one Andre suggested worked in my case.

    Now I can receive mail as expected.

    Anyway, thank you both for your cooperation.

    Best regards, Mai

    Hello Mai,

    You can achieve this with the help of business events and flow.

    Such a scenario was presented at MBAS some weeks ago.

    Please see powerusers.microsoft.com/.../299817

    Note: Clarify the licensing issue because even though your manager is not working with D365FO he might need a proper license.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Mai,

    On the User options, you can provide a Sender email which overrides the email of the user account (tab page Account).
