Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hey all,

I'm trying to extract the manager of an email and convert it as the next recipient in the flow.

i.e.

Manager: John Smith

Flow finds John Smith > Converts to John.Smith@contoso.com > Next step in flow sends email to John.Smith@contoso.com.

Thank you!

Thank you @v-yamao-msft for the link!

I did do a search and found that link, not sure if it will help me convert a name format to an email format but I'll give it a go.

I'm very new to this and need the laymens terms of how to get these formulas to work.
