Hello,

I've build a flow beginning with a "When a HTTP request is received" trigger and on a sharepoint page , there is a button which is linked to this flow.

I want that when an user clicks on this button, an email to be sent to me with the UPN (user principal name) of the user.

I'd tried to get this UPN with the "Get my profile V2" action , but it retrieves only my own profile and not the profile of the connected user.

There is the "Get the user profile V2' action , but it needed the UPN as an input !

Thank you very much for your help

@PYL ,Is this a SPFx webpart?

You will need to pass the context of the user clicking the button as a parameter to the Flow in the body text.

BODY:

{

"UPN":"Pass the value here."

}

If this is SPFx, you can get the value from sp.web.currentUser()

Thank you @SudeepGhatakNZ
The button is just a simple SharePoint Webpart. I do not know what is a SPFx Webpart.
If it not the case, have you got an idea ?
Thanks

@PYL ,

The approach of simply adding a button to a SharePoint page and expecting it to pass the user's context directly to a web service will not work because SharePoint does not inherently provide a mechanism for automatically capturing the user's context and passing it along with a button click event.

Options:

1. For scenario you are describing, you need to build a custom webpart (SPFx Webpart),or

Overview of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) | Microsoft Learn

2. You build a embedded power app and add a button to it.

Solved: Pass data from PowerApps to MS Power Automate (Flo... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

In both cases, pass the user context to flow when the button is clicked.
