Set Dynamic Requestor for "start and wait for an approval"

Posted on by 8
Hi everyone, 

I'm hoping I can get some insight on how to dynamically change the text of the approval email:

Currently this is how Approval Emails come in



This is the flow that is currently work:


 
However the moment I add this Dynamic Value, the flow starts to fail:



What I am trying to do is to make it so that the "Requestor" on the approval email is not my name but the name of the person that created the new list item. If there is additional information that is needed, please let me know. I appreciate the help! Thank you! :)

    Did you ever find an answer for this question?  I'm still trying to find a way to enter dynamic content in the "Requestor" field and it isn't letting me.  I've googled this question in as many forms as I can and still haven't found a solution.

    Why type of field are you trying to populate requested by with? It needs to be an e-mail address. Your first screen shot seems to indicate you used an e-mail address, and I cannot tell what type of field is used in the second screen shot. But based on the fact you said the flow worked with the first value and not the second, my guess is you updated it with something other than an e-mail address.
