Hi,

I need some help on retrieving the value "Information Technology", good to know, the value is dynamic and user dependent.

So out of this:

{
 "d": {
 "GetUserProfilePropertyFor": "Information Technology"
 }
}

I need to end up with

Information Technology

Hey @BenVdP

You need to parse the JSON using the 'Parse JSON' action:

The schema (noting you can just generate this automatically in the action):

{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "d": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "GetUserProfilePropertyFor": {
                    "type": "string"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

and the outputs:

Hi @Jay-Encodian

Not sure what you mean, can you go into a bit more detail?

Thanks.

You can simply do this:
The code in the 2nd compose which exposes your value exactly is:
outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')['d']['GetUserProfilePropertyFor']

@Jay-Encodian , it took a while for the screenshots to display.
Your proposed solution works! Thank you!

One additional question; It would be nice that I could retrieve multiple attributes (CompanyPeopleUnitId, BusinessSectorName, BusinessUnitName, and DepartmentName) in one call at once, is this something that can work as well?

Hey @BenVdP

I've marked this one as a solution, helps other find answers to the same question.

Retrieving multiple attributes is fine, the same approach should work... it should be a case of parsing the JSON.

If you need further guidance can you post a new query (mention me on the post via an @) with the same sample data you're working with
