    Hi There,

     

    To autopopulate the approver name from Dynamics CRM into an approval Power Automate flow. Use the 'Common Data Service (current environment)' or 'Dynamics 365' connector, depending on your setup.
    Select the 'Get record' action. Specify the entity (Users) and the unique identifier for the approver (User GUID).


    Once the 'Get record' action is set, you can reference the output from this step to extract the approver's name. The dynamic content will have fields like fullname or similar based on the CRM's schema. In the 'Start an approval' action, use the extracted name dynamic content in the 'Assigned to' field or wherever the approver's name is required.
    This will autopopulate the approver's name from Dynamics CRM into your Power Automate flow.

     

    Please give kudos and mark as solution if it helps.  

      

    Thanks,

    Maybe I didn't explain it well, but I want to fill the field in the form of CRM from power automate flow. After getting the user from CRM in power automate flow, then I have to put this user in the field I need in the form.
