Is there a way you can use Flow to connect to the User directory in Office 365 and retrieve the Contact field information on users?

Re: Office 365 Profile Information - getting user manager

Hi Crminnovation,

Do you want to get profile of Manager?
Hope this thread could be a reference for you, seems that “Get Manager” works with Azure directory and not SharePoint Online. The thread link is:

Re: Office 365 Profile Information - getting user's profile info

I don't want to get the user's manager. I want to retrieve information in the users' profile. Like department, office location, etc.

Re: Office 365 Profile Information - getting user's profile info

Hi Crminnovation,

Thanks for updates.
I guess the action “Get user profile” might achieve what you want.
I created a flow to get user profile when a new email is arrived, the flow looks like below:

When an email is sent from a user within my organization, I could get the profile information of the user.

Please try if this works for you.

Best regards,

Re: Office 365 Profile Information - getting user's profile info

Mabel,

Thanks for working that up I will take a close look at it.

However, my scenario is a little different. I want the trigger to be a change to the User's profile information - ie they change their Department. Then after the triggering event, I will retrieve their profile fields and update a record in the CRM system. Their are two fields that don't sync from O365 to Dynamics CRM - Office and Department. I need the text value for those fields in CRM.

Hi Crminnovation,

Thanks for your updates.

I understand that you want a trigger “When a user profile is modified”. But it seems that currently we don’t have such a trigger about Office 365 users.

May I suggest you submit an idea on Flow Ideas Forum about this new feature, I will report this from side and suggest other customers who have the same request to vote your idea at here:
