Notes
- 1.
We could just have the manager be a Person column and use that email, but my thought was to allow emails out of the SharePoint system (e.g., to a Gmail account). As discussed in the following, this is not working for me in Office 365.

For example, it works when I use my onMicrosoft.com address but fails when I use my normal email address. Here is the error message in that case: The request failed. Error code: ‘InvalidApprovalSubscribeRequestAssignedToMissing’. Error Message: ‘Required field ‘assignedTo’ is missing, empty, or contained no valid users.’. SharePoint 2013 workflows have a similar issue. We launch SharePoint 2010 workflows to send emails outside of the one associated with a SharePoint user.
