Hi team,
 
Assuming this is a pretty simple question, but I couldn't find it on the forums/ via google searches, but how can I determine the current user's email address (when PAD is run locally by a user, with a signed in email account) for using within the "Account" field within the "Send email message through Outlook" action? I want to make it dynamic so if more than one person has to run the flow, they don't have to go and adjust the mail account.
 
Any questions let me know.
 
Kind regards,
B

    @ronaldwatson - unfortunately not.


    I'm assuming that the real answer is to set it up to manipulate Outlook directly, rather than through this action.

    Wouldn't PAD just use the email configured in the Outlook client when it is called?
