Retreive email of the person who runs the flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

I've created a flow that starts with the trigger - For A Specific Item. 

I've made a botton in a sharepoint collumn that strats this flow.

 

After this trigger there is a Get Item and Get Profile. 

Within that Get Profile a use the UPN to email people who starts the flow....a ussumed.

But i'v tried with different users and every time the same email adress is used...and that is the adress of the Flow owner...a functional account.

How can i get the email adress of the users who starts the flow?

 

tnx,

    Hi Alice,

    Thanks for your reply. I see i've used the wrong action. 

    User Profile vs My Profile.

    Thanks for your help!

     

    best regards,

    Jeroen

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I have made a test on my side, please refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

    The flow would run successfully to send an email to the person who runs the flow as below:
