Hi all !

We have a rotating 'stability manager' in our team. Each week the 'manager' is a different member of the team.

The goal of this scheduled flow is the following : each start of week, it lists all of my team members, get the first one's teams user token (i will work on the rotating part later), and post a message in the team channel saying 'The stability manager of this week is @Jane Johnson'
I have looked at some interesting post out there, but I'm still stuck. Here is my flow at the moment :

My flow fails in the loop 'GetUserTag', it is unable to find the user tag from the user full name
I tried to use 'Get user token from teams' in a simple flow, using my full name as a parameter, but it fails too.
It works if I use the autocomplete feature and manually click on a tag, but I want it to return me a list of tags.

Gosh C# is easier ^^

Hi there. I think it's looking for an email address rather than the display name. If you don't have that already, you can add an action to search O365 Users based on the display name and take the email from first result. Here are some articles that also might be useful in your use-case:

And then a video from @aprildunnam on something very similar:

Good luck, and keep us posted.
