SharePoint SendEmail API retirement

Commonly used SharePoint email notification endpoint is getting retired end of this month

Commonly used SharePoint email notification endpoint is getting retired end of this month... Starting October 31, 2025, Microsoft will retire the SharePoint API endpoint SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail. This means all email notifications sent through this method will cease to work. This change may affect both your low-code and pro-code solutions. This is a last call! How to check if you are affected? ๐Ÿ‘‰ Review your inbox: Look for emails from the SharePoint Online contact ([email protected]). While you will find some generic messages (e.g., access requests or notifications), custom emails related to your projects affected by this change may also be present. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Inspect the code of your solutions: look for REST requests as (โ€œ/_api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmailโ€) and HTTP Request / Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action in Power Automate or CSOM endpoint โ€œUtility.SendEmailโ€ in pro-code solutions. # Migration options: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Implement Power Automate Mail Connector: Using action Send an email notification (V3), you can send your email content via generic Power Automate inbox - due to multiple limitations of mail connector, this approach is not recommended ๐Ÿ‘‰ Implement service account or additional Exchange inbox: When working with an external inbox, you can integrate it any way you want, including Outlook or SMTP connector for low-code or Graph API for pro-code solutions ๐Ÿ‘‰ Drop emails altogether: If applicable, consider migrating from an email-based system to notifications in Power Apps / MS Teams or chats This reminder follows the Microsoft message: MC921752 - more details linked in the comments. ___ ### Sources: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Retirement of the SharePoint SendEmail API - Microsoft Support: [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/retirement-of-the-sharepoint-sendemail-api-b35bbab1-7d09-455f-8737-c2de63fe0821](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/retirement-of-the-sharepoint-sendemail-api-b35bbab1-7d09-455f-8737-c2de63fe0821) ๐Ÿ‘‰ MC921752 issue: [https://admin.microsoft.com/#/MessageCenter/:/messages/MC921752](https://admin.microsoft.com/#/MessageCenter/:/messages/MC921752)
