User Relationships - Get User 'Created By'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi,

 

I'm experimenting with my first Power App and Power Automate flows and am having trouble in the flow obtaining user information for a user who created a record in another table.

 

I have created a table 'Reminders' which is populated using a small Power App. When I insert a record I can see the Created By column is assigned a User GUID. This Guid seems to have a FK (Relationship) with the User column in the Users table.

 

When I create a Power Automate Flow and try and 'Get a record' (action) passing in the Guid I just get 'systemuser' as a response rather than a record. Looking at the Keys in the table, the only one listed is the AAD Guid column which is the Guid as assigned in AAD. 

 

My question is, how can I get the user record from 'Created By' field of another table.

 

My end goal is to then use Push Notifications to send a reminder to the Power Apps mobile app, so for I have only managed to do this via an email address, hence trying to get the user record.

 

Thanks

 

Stuart

    Hi @StUK how are you?

     

    @StUK , at Power Automate to retrieve information from a record and attributes on the related record you can use the expand query property.

     

    Please take a look on this post about this subject Using Expand Query in Power Automate with CDS - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

     

    Please let me know if this information helped on your question.
