How to create flow using email template

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by lawilliams713 45

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,

    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"
      }

    {

    “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”

    }
