Send email(Gmail) | Send with the logged in user of the Gmail connector as the sender. Importance level can be changed. |
Send an email(Office365 Outlook) | Send with the logged in user of the Microsoft365 connector as the sender. Importance level can be changed. |
Send me an email notification(Notifications) | Only the body and title can be specified. Since the recipient is fixed to the logged-in user of Power Automate, notification of errors and other flows is the main use of this function. |
Send email(SMTP) | After registering the SMTP server information, specify the sender, recipient, and body of the message and send it. Since the mailer is not used, the message does not remain in the Sent Items list. |
