Store PrincipalID in a variable

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by theisogunro 272

Hello All,

 

I am having the hardest time with something.  I'm about a month old in Flow so please have patience with me.

 

Below is what I have so far.  I just don't know what to do to get the value from the first action into the variable.  It's probably simple but I just can't figure it out.  I've seen blogs and I just don't get how.

    Hi @theisogunro ,

     

    First of all, it may need to explain that Principal Id you need is property--id in the response of the first action, so you only need to get id value in the first action. .

     

    If you follow configuration with image you provided, this value can be obtained through the Expression below.

     

    You could configure the following Expression in Value:

    body('Get_the_user_Principal_Id')['d']['id']

    Hope it helps.

     

    Best Regards,
