Hello,
I'm creating a work flow for an onboarding request. Part of my flow include creation of Azure AD users.
Our company email format is 'first letter of First Name' followed by their surname @companyemail.com
I've been playing around with different expressions but cant seem to make it work.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hey @w0rmsp17
That First Name from a list is basically the column. Can you do this: initialize a variable by adding an initialize variable action before the current action and put the name of the variable as "First_Name" and then in the value, from the dynamic selector select the First Name column.
Now if you use that expression, it should work for you.
Hope this Helps!

'First Name' is a variable in a entered in a List. It should store it when the list has been submitted.
When I enter in the User Principal Name in 'Create user'
I select 'Add dynamic content' -> select 'Expression', I enter substring(variables('First_Name'),0,1)
click save and thats where the error prompts
thank you
Hey @w0rmsp17
Where are you getting the First Name from? Are you storing it in a variable at all? You might want to initialize a variable before this action and provide the name and then in the value, select the first name from dynamic content. It should resolve your issue then.
Hope this Helps!

Hi @w0rmsp17
You can do something like this: Variable name: First_Name->
substring(variables('First_Name'),0,1)

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. Very helpful information, I'll remember this for the future. I'm a little stuck though I'm unsure how to reference variables in the 'expression'. Keeps throwing me errors.
I get errors with this syntax "substring('First_Name'),0,1)"
Hi @w0rmsp17
You can get the first letter of the first name using the substring expression like:
