Alias.JPGHello!

I am trying to display values about user from Outlook

Here is screen from outlook properties - how can I receive value "Alias", it has 8-digints in power apps?

I used this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/connections/connection-office365-users

With mail, name, photo - everything clear, it works

example - Office365Users.MyProfile().Mail 

I tried Office365Users.MyProfile().Alias - no success, kindly ask you to help

 

thank you

    @Anonymous  have you tried mailNickname?  In my environment our Alias from Azure is the same as our mailNickname.  Office365Users.UserProfileV2("YourID").mailNickname
