Access Web App New Email Function Query (1 Viewer)

Hi, i wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying the new email function in the web app for access. I have a very simple set of data, a database of colleagues and their contact information (including email) and a database of tasks where individuals in the colleagues database can be selected as the task manager.

Essentially, what i'm trying to do, is once a new task has been added, an auto email notifies the colleague. The app is published on my 365 sharepoint, and when i'm assigned a task the email function works perfectly. However, it doesn't seem to work for my other colleagues information.

Does anyone have any ideas about how i can address this, things to check etc? I wondered if it could be a sharepoint issue?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,

Are the email addresses you are trying to send to outside the existing Office 365 organization? Essentially, have those email addresses been invited as users in the SharePoint site?

With the new Send Email data macro in Access 2013 web apps, the email addresses used must be within the same company site or belong to guests of the site. See our blog post on this for more information.

Hi, thanks for the response - the issue was they hadn't signed into office 365 - or at least that seemed to resolve it anyway. Thanks for the help

You're welcome. Glad I could help answer your question.

Good luck with your continued progress on your Access web app projects.

Hi Jeff and friends,

I'm hughly appreciative of everything that exists in the Access world. I sing Access praises regularly. I'm still wondering if and when this functionality might be ever added to Access Web Apps. We can still only send Auto emails via Data Macro to organisation users. It seems critical to me to have the functionality to send external to this group. Why else would an organisation invest in a huge database to gather customers information etc only to then be told you can't send auto emails? I'm desperate to find any work around on this. I've looked high and low to see if data macros etc can be used. My love of web Apps is at stake!!!! for the love of Access HELP..... At least tell me that I should stop hoping. It's the not knowing which is the real issue here. Regards. MSAddict
