Sending an email to a form submission owner when approvals are changed in sharepoint list

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a flow in automate which sends an e-mail to a request owner once an approval has been updated in a sharepoint list.

I currently have an MS form submission, which feeds into sharepoint list via automate, and have the approvals settings as a column in the list. I have built a flow, which triggers to send an email when the flow is updated to either Approved or Rejected (changing the email the user in turn receives).

The issue i have is that the flow seems to return the e-mail to me as the 'creator' since i am the one updating field, and/or running the flow.

I would like the flow to send an e-mail to the user/submitter of the form, which also feeds into the sharepoint list, how would i go about doing this?

Then you'll need to record the Form submitter in the metadata of the item. When the approval happens the flow doesn't know anything about the original form unless you save the details in some way. If you record the submitter in the details of the item you can use it later to send the email after approval.
