SendAsDL flow

Purpose

The SendAsDL flow allows you to send emails as a distribution list from Outlook on your mobile device.

It can also be useful if you need a single "From" address for several users.

Current version: 1.0.1

Installation

1. Create the shared mailbox "sendasdl@contoso.com".
2. Create the transport rule "SendAsDL".
   
3. The flow uses the "Office 365 Outlook" and "Office 365 Users" connections. When importing the flow, use your existing connections or create new ones.
   
4. Using a service account that has full access to the shared mailbox "sendasdl@contoso.com" and the right to send as the distribution list, open Power Automate and import "SendAsDL.zip" as a new flow, following the Power Automate documentation.
   
5. Enter "sendasdl@contoso.com" in the "Original Mailbox Address" field. Click the three-dot menu, then select "Settings". Set "Split On" to "Off". Save the flow.
   
6. Turn on the flow.
   

Testing

1. Assume your default email address is "tester@contoso.com" and you want to send as the distribution list "testDL1". Create the email alias "tester_sendasdl_testDL1" for your account. The tag "_sendasdl_" is recognized by the transport rule. "testDL1" must match the display name of a distribution list of which you are a member.
2. Open Outlook on your mobile device, select "tester_sendasdl_testDL1@contoso.com" as the From address, and send a message.
   
3. Verify that the message is delivered from "testDL1 <testDL1@contoso.com>".
