getting the Name of a submitter from a form

Posted on 8 Mar 2023 17:58:06 by 176

I am using a form that is only available to internal users.  It therefore automatically grabs the submitter name and email.  

I have a flow that is triggered by the form -> gets the submission details -> adds a new record to a sharepoint list.

 

I am able to map all the form inputs to the list, including responder e-mail, but I do not see an option to capture the responder Name.  Is there a way?

 

Thanks

    I don't know if it is different at your organization, but for mine, I am able to use the Responder's Email from the form submission to lookup their User Profile.


    You can then use the User Profile results to get their different names like Display Name or Surname.

    You can try using that email output to see if it will lookup the User Profile. 

     

    (You could also try User Search, but you then have to deal with possible multiple results or Apply to Each, but it can still be done.)
