Get the Display name from the body of a GET http request

Posted on by

I have a flow that is triggered on a change in a particular column in SharePoint.

I am using the 'Get changes for an item or a file (properties only)' to check if the Value of a particular field changed and if the condition is true. Then I am using a  'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' with GET method and uri: /_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Intake Register')/Items(@{triggerOutputs()?['body/ID']})/versions(@{outputs('Get_changes_for_an_item_or_a_file_(properties_only)')?['body/SinceVersionId']}). This gives me that data before the change. 

I need this as the next action will be to send an email showing the name from a person column that was there before the change and the name of the new person (from the trigger action). 

 

My issue is that the result of the 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' is just body and i am unable to decipher the expression or something to use to just extract the display name (or as noted below the LooUpValue"), which in this case i want to see "Testing email Name"

 

Below is an extract of the action output:

"body": {
        "d": {
            "Legal_x005f_x0020_x005f_who_x005f_x003f_x005f_": {
                "__metadata": {
                    "type""SP.FieldUserValue"
                },
                "LookupId"131,
                "LookupValue""Testing email Name",
                "Email""testing.email@XYZ.com"
