 Hi Friends,


Today I will be showing how to create and send the mail notification using the SendGrid through Azure Runbook and Powershell

Azure runbook script to send mail using PowerShell and SendGrid @SharePointWidgets.com


SendGrid is a third party API that is very much integrated with Azure and is very easy to use. It provides various ways to send the mail. In this blog, I will be explaining the code to use SendGrid REST API to send the mail.

STEPS..!!

Step 1:

To use SendGrid, you should have 2 things
  1. SendGrid Subscription Key: This key will let the SendGrid know the subscription you have and will allow the number of emails accordingly
  2. Sender Identity: This identifies the sender so that the mails do not lands up in the SPAM/JUNK folder.
To have the above two, you need to login to the SendGrid and follow the instruction.

Step 2: Store the Subscription key in Key Vault

To maintain the security, I will be keeping the SendGrid Subscription Key into the Azure KeyVault. If you want to do the same, please follow the steps mentioned here

Make a note of the two properties that we will be needing in the script
  • Key Vault Name
  • Secret Name

Step 3: Code in Runbook

This is the last step, If you haven't created one follow the step below
  • Create an Automation Account
  • Navigate to the account and then to Runbooks and create a new one
Once the runbook is created, paste the below code and update the VaultName and SubscriptionKey variable values




Click on save and then test

Hope this script will save a lot of time and will help you... Do write me if you need any help on the topic.

Happy Coding..!!

Rename Folder using Microsoft Flow / Power Automate in a Document Library in SharePoint Online

Hi Friends, Today blog is about renaming the folder in the document library using the MS FLOW or MS Power Automate. When I started working on this it seems to be an easy job, but if you look into the connectors you'll find it really difficult as there is no straight forwards connector to do the job. Issues encountered If you try using the " Get Folder Metadata " connector, you'll not be able to get the ID of the folder as it is returning as the negative value. If you get the ID somehow and try to update the folder name using the " Update File Properties " connector, you'll end up renaming only the title of the folder, but it will still have the old name as the display name which in case is again a failure. There is no other connector which can be utilized to achieve the task of renaming the folder in a document library directly. Solution The solution is a simple three-step (at least in this example). Step 1: Initialize variables In case you are computing
