    Hi,
     
    Pls try the below format to set user column in power automate. The part before email address is static:
    i:0#.f|membership|<dynamic email address>
     
    Just replace <dynamic email address> with actual email address or variable.
     
     
    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to like and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

    I've tried your suggestion, adding an expression:
     
    concat('i:0#.f|membership|',outputs('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['body/mail'])
     
    However, the same errors persist
