Posted on by 16

Hi, I have a flow where when an email comes into a a shared box it automatically creates a sharepoint item

For the person its coming from I would like to pull their actual name instead of their email address in the "from" field below

Is that possible? Thank you

    Hey @RichLabz 

     

    If the person is in the same organization, then you can use the following action:

     

    Sundeep_Malik_0-1694623421717.png

     

    Then in create item you can use the given name and surname:

    Sundeep_Malik_1-1694623596058.png

     

    But this can create an apply to each for you. So, by writing the following expression you can skip the apply to each:

    concat(outputs('Search_for_users_(V2)')?['body/value']?[0]?['GivenName'],'',outputs('Search_for_users_(V2)')?['body/value']?[0]?['Surname'])

     

    I hope this helps 🙂
