Add a button Click. Add a rule on Onselect. When a user Clicks on the Click event, a message will automatically be sent to the user. We want to use the Office 365 class.

After adding the rule Office 365, we see the red squiggles under it because we did not complete the connection.

When we open Gmail we can see the message which was sent using PowerApps.

We want to Add a text box for the Gmail address when the user clicks on the button the message will send to the user. In the button click on select previously we are giving the EmailAddress directly now we have added the text box name. We changed the text box name as "EmailBox".
