Important
This notification is not meant to be used in high risk scenario. This is because all the mails will use IP 198.37.145.8 and it can have a bad reputation if a particular user makes it land in a blocked list. We try to mitigate as much as possible by limiting the number of mails a particular connection can send. For critical scenarios where mails cannot be lost we recommend using a different mail delivery connector: Office 365 Outlook, Gmail, SMTP, etc.
Known Issues and Limitations
If you choose the Send an email notification (V3) action and you do not receive a notification, please try the following:
Use this form to manage your subscription preferences.
Verify message traces with the help of your Admin (/exchange/monitoring/trace-an-email-message/run-a-message-trace-and-view-results). If you or your Admin see the following trace, that means that your message is lost once it arrives to your organization's servers:
origin_timestamp sender_address recipient_status message_subject total_bytes message_id network_message_id original_client_ip directionality connector_id delivery_priority 2019-02-31T17:27:29.0987602Z microsoft@powerapps.com [EmailRemoved]##Receive, Deliver Subject of the mail not received <SomeIDThatEndsWIth.sendgrid.net> SomeGUID XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Incoming Normal Ensure that your Admin allows IP 198.37.145.8 to deliver messages to your organization.
The unsubscribe link cannot be removed from the email body due to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.
Note
The Mail connector is currently restricted for new tenants. Microsoft is working on enabling this connector. In the meantime, please consider using alternatives like Office 365 Outlook, Gmail, SendGrid connector instead.
Subscribe/Unsubscribe process
After you submit the form to manage subscription preferences, you will:
Receive an email from flowmail@microsoft.com, with the subject: Please confirm request to subscribe/unsubscribe <email>
Select the appropriate action: Subscribe/Unsubscribe.
Receive a new email from flowmail@microsoft.com with the subject: Request to subscribe/unsubscribe <email> was processed
You can only expect the changes to take place after receiving the second email.

Please make sure that the email address tied to the subscription is spelled correctly. Some organizations allow names (First.Lastname@company.com) as well as aliases (flastname@company.com).
Throttling Limits
| Name | Calls | Renewal Period |
|---|---|---|
| API calls per connection | 100 | 24 hours |
| API calls per connection | 5 | 5 minutes |
| Recipients per connection | 10 000 | 24 hours |
Note
We have had reports of customers trying to use this notification to send spam, for that reason we are lowering the limits to 5 mails per 5 minutes in addition to the 100 mails per 24 hours limit we already have in place. Each email will count as only one API call per connection, even if there is more than one recipient in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields. However, if you need more quota for sending messages, the workaround would be to use Send an email (V2) action from Office 365 Outlook connector. There is a limit of two connections per user for this connector. There is a recipient quota of 10 000 per day per connection.
