How to create flow using email template

Posted on by lawilliams713

Hello,

I am trying to create a flow that sends an email from email templates when a new contact is created. I found a year old article addressing this and tried to adjust to current formatting but I'm running into issues. Is there a better, newer way of doing this? I've listed the referenced article below so you can see where I got my path from.

https://www.inogic.com/blog/2020/09/power-automate-send-an-email-using-the-email-template-part-1/

Below is what I have based on that article but again, I could be completely off. I was just trying what I could. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Can you please paste the JSON (as clear text) here so we can verify if it is in the right format?

Hi,

It seems like when you copied the JSON from the blog post, it was the wrong quotes.

Replace “ and ” with " (normal quotes).

Try with following JSON:

{

    "email_activity_parties": [

      {

        "partyid_systemuser@odata.bind": "/systemusers(@{

          triggerOutputs()?[

            'body/_ownerid_value'

          ]

        })",

        "participationtypemask": 1

      },

      {

        "partyid_contact@odata.bind": "/contacts(@{

          triggerOutputs()?[

            'body/contactid'

          ]

        })",

        "participationtypemask": 2

      }

    ],

    "@@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.email"

  }
