Hi there community.

I have a step in Power Automate, Post a choice of options as the Flow bot to a user. The recipients of these MS Teams message are 3 people. The choices of the options are "APPROVE", "REJECT".

Issue: How can i get who selected and trigger the selection from the 3 recipients? I only need 1 person to select the options but i don't know how can i identified who clicked the options I need the username and the date they clicked.. is there away to do that?

Thanks in advance

When you say you are posting as the Flow bot, are you referring to the action Post adaptive card and wait for a response? If so, you can get the responder through a Compose action and the following expression:

outputs('Post_adaptive_card_and_wait_for_a_response')?['body/responder/email']

If you renamed the action, you will need to update the expression accordingly.

I haven't tried this, but to get the response time, I think you can use the following expression in a Compose action as well.

outputs('Post_adaptive_card_and_wait_for_a_response')?['body/responseTime']

Thanks for the reply. No i am not using the adaptive card. I am just using the "Post a choice of options as the Flow bot to a user".

I don't understand why you are having trouble with this then. The data is provided with the response. Just look in the dynamic content and you will see all of the values that are returned.

You can use the following expression to format the date:

formatDateTime(outputs('Post_a_choice_of_options_as_the_Flow_bot_to_a_user')?['body/responseTime'],'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt')

This is a good Web page that provides the values for formatting dates with the formatDateTime expression: formatDateTime to Format Dates with Power Automate (sharepains.com)
