Hello Shane, awesome video! thanks for all this tips! I want to create a PDF file out of the information on the form and email it with the signature included. Is it possible? Do you have videos that cover something similar to what I would like to do? Thanks!

[@ShanesCows]

Two videos on making PDF. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPJcoSbZtB-bq8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJe7h5J9jciSgK8 Watch them in that order.

Shane, I get error, maybe because this doesn't work on the newest version of powerapps: Office365.SendMail("[e-mail]","My Subject Text", "Body Text", {Attachments:Table({Name:"peninput.jpg", ContentBytes:Signature.Image, '@odata.type':""})}) I get error: Invocation of unknown or unsupported function

[@ShanesCows]

Mail has changed a bit. Try this video to get the new overview kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKG8nIKZmNyhars

[@ShanesCows]

That looks right. The error should give your more details on what part is wrong hopefully

I am strugling with email send button, Where can I get formula/codes please?

Here is a whole video on just sending emails. Maybe it will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHeaiJ6nqd1-eJI

[@carlamahlberg1854]

When creating a form, can you make it where you can share the app outside of your organization? Also, can you create a screen where you are communicating back and forth with someone within the app, and it displays all communication on the app?

[@ShanesCows]

Hi Carla - Right now PowerApps apps cannot be shared outside your org or made anonymous. It just isn't how they are built today. Maybe in the future. :) Real-time chat? I haven't tried. Maybe if you did something with a timer and autorefresh you could come up with a solution. Maybe.

[@punit45232]

Good video! Again, very helpful!

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks again!

Shane, please teach step-by-step how to filter a Galerry using a DatePicker!

[@ShanesCows]

Interesting. Is something not working? I haven't tried before but seems straightforward. I will add it to my list.

[@SmartChosk]

Yeah it is working, My problem was only on the TimeZone Date format that was giving the wrong date and another things...but it is working, if you add in some videos in the future, dont forget to talk about the Date format in PowerApps that is differente from excel..i wasnt the only one with this problem :p

[@jonmatthews5642]

Great Video Shane! but did you miss out how you setup greying out the consent form? as I can't find that bit :( and would be great if you could PDF the consent form and then email it!? :D

[@Crusader1089]

Working my way through these, but gah! Its such a shame he didn't want the data output to azure or excel because outputting barcode data to excel is exactly what I am trying to do at the moment. I am sure I'll see you do it soon enough.

[@hahiwa8060]

Hey, thanks for this help ! But it doesn't work for me. I sended an email with an image, but a white jpg. Any ideas? ^^ Thanks for help.

[@hahiwa8060]

Ok, it seems to only work with my phone ^^ sorry

[@ShanesCows]

Glad you got it.

Very very very helpfun man. THANK YOU

Glad to help. 😀

[@PcGeek04]

That is far as I got in capturing sigs in forms. I haven’t figured out how to capture the form itself with the signature embedded, which I have a requirement for, and as such, I’m still pushing out DoForms instead of PowerApps for quite a few. I hate deploying something I’m trying to kill off. Lol. But business folks got me so busy with PowerBI I don’t have a lot of time to dig in more on PowerApps. Anyone have a duplicator that works on humans?

[@ShanesCows]

I will go digging and see what I can find. I got your back.

[@ShanesCows]

Took me a while but since someone else also asked for this I went and put in a request. You can go upvote it and add your 2 pennies. powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Ideas/Capture-the-whole-screen/idi-p/93376 PS it took me 10 minutes to figure out where you had mentioned this. :)

[@tonykcontacts1560]

Shane, Great Tutorial! Really like the jump in *WAIT* that was my exact mistake yesterday. Created whole project and left for the night to see that my session expired this morning. I have utilized all of your steps but would like to add 2 signature lines. It would be great to keep it all within one button command, but everyway I modify it seems to end in unexpected token or expected ParenClose. This is as close as I have come:,Attachments:Table({Name:"peninput1.jpg",ContentBytes:Signature1.Image,'@odata.type':""}),Attachments1:Table({Name:"peninput2.image",ContentBytes:Signature2.Image,'@odata.type':""}) Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@ShanesCows]

Hey Tony. We had this exact conversation in the forums. Is this you also? If not good news the answer is there. :) powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/Send-an-image-from-pen-input-via-email/m-p/83740#M32260

Thank you Shane, ViveKB was a great help. My first power app works perfectly, on to the next one. :)

[@brunomalbuquerque91]

what if you trying to attach a form?

[@ShanesCows]

I haven’t done that before. Sorry

[@mblherry]

I got an error on the consent button "The server returned an HTTP error with code 0". I didn't get this from the last video on email

[@ShanesCows]

Between you and me I think PowerApps are broken. I am getting a similar error when trying to build an app. :( I need to pick up my kids.

Check your data type. If Age is a number then make sure you are passing a number, not text.

Hello Shane, I tried the same method for gmail, but it am getting error. Gmail.SendEmail("[e-mail]",{Subject: "Consent", Attachments: Table({Name: "PenInput.JPG", ContentBytes: Signature.Image, '@odata.type':""})}) Error: Incompatible type, The content bytes column in the data source you're updating expecting a 'blob' type and you're using a Image type . Can you please help

[@ShanesCows]

I haven't used GMAIL before so not sure. Sorry.

[@GH-yk6zd]

Is the built-in email adress verification editable? i'd like to alter it to be able to detect fake email adresses such as @sharklasers.com / @pokemail.net etc. (all from guerrillamail)

[@ShanesCows]

You would have to add logic to do that. Sorry
