When file is created (properties only) creator's email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by andriii 16

Hello,

I've created a workflow that works fine for me, but I need to share it with my colleagues. 

 

I need to get an email of the person who create a file (properties only) in OneDrive for Business folder, so the flow could send this user an email and make him/her an approval requestor.

I didn't find a way to get the user's email. Please advise.

 

Thank you!

    Since this is a flow triggered on creation, we know the "last modified by" will be the user who created it.

     

    We can use their name to search for users, get the top result back, parse it, get first result, and then use the UPN - which is the email.
