HI,

I have requirement to add current user in SharePoint group when user is cliked on button.

I tried the follwoing artilce to add the user in SharePoint Group.

https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/add-the-users-to-the-sharepoint-groups-using-microsoft-flow/

I need to pass the Group Name and Current logged user email to MS flow. But I dont know how to get the current user email id inside the MS Flow.

I'm using PowerApp Button to trgger the Flow from PowerApps screen. I'm able to get the current user logon id inside the powerapps. So, I will send the GroupName;loginID to the powerApps when user click the button.

But How do I spilt the AskinPowerApps value ?

Any string manipulation availabel like Split(AskInPowerAppsValue, ";")[0]?

Hi @azeesdinu

You can get the current user email address in PowerApps using User().Email

Now for the flow configurations, you can define two actions (both Initialize Variable), one to store Group Name and other to store the Email Address. This can be done by selecting "Ask in PowerApps" from the dynamic content in your flow. For first variable this "Ask in PowerApps" occurs automatically but if a variable already exists, then you may need to create another variable, by selecting "see more" on the right menu of PowerApps dynamic content. This way two different names variables are created.

Now remove the flow from the button in the PowerApps and re-register it.

Pass the two variables as 'PowerAPps Button'.Run(GroupName, User().Email)

Assuming first variable is for the Group Name and second is for email as per the flow configuration.

If you still want to pass this as single variable, you can trugger the flow as:

'PowerAPps Button'.Run("GroupName;"&User().Email)

and while retrieving in the flow, you can use split to get the values.

split(VariablecreatedforFlow,';')[0] -> GroupName

split(VariablecreatedforFlow,';')[1] -> Current User Email

Hope this Helps!
