How can I show the users name for flow actions and not the flow maker's name

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 31

When I create a flow, it performs actions.  I don't want the flow makers name to appear as the person who did the action.  Instead I want the user who triggered the flow to show as the person who did the action.

 

Example If I create a flow to move a document for a user, I want the user who triggered the flow to e the person's name that shows up as last modified.  Not the flow makers name.  What do I need to add to the flow to do that?
