I have a PowerApps that is sending email to approvers by clicking on a button in the PowerApps. If the Approver = the Initiator (the person starting the approvals) then I want the toggle to be set to "Yes", if the Approver <> the Initiator then the toggle is visible and set to "No". I then want that Initiator to get an email at the end of the approvals that the file was published. I'm struggling on how to capture that first person.
Hi @kmw1130
I'm not sure if I understood your question. I understood that you want to capture who the "first person", or user creating the request, is. You can do that with a variable set in the OnStart property of your app:
Set(varUserEmail, User().Email)
You can use User().Email or User().FullName, then compare your approver / initiator email or name to your variable.
I do that already. I have a variable set to get Office365 User. I need to capture that first user (Initiator), because then there will be 2 or 3 other uses accessing the form to complete their approvals.
