    Hi Sethucs,

     

    I'm using the following in a few flows. The action "Get user profile (V2)" gets the profile of the user. If you just need the full name of the person running the flow, you could add a "Compose"-action and extract the full name of the user profile.

    Hope this helps! 🙂


    Kinds regards,

    Frank
