Hello Community!

Creating a flow where i generate a report through power automate, sending this report to the user that triggered the flow. The customer wants to have a button to generate this report. To create the button that will trigger this flow i created a webhook with the trigger "When a HTTP request is received". The trigger just returns the id of the row from the entity i placed the button.

is there any way to retrieve the email of the user that triggered tthe flow?

I don't know if that can be extracted from an HTTP trigger. Is the flow triggered from Power Apps? Can you not pass the user context to the HTTP trigger?

@Anonymous , this suggestion assumes you have an app that is calling your HTTP trigger.

A canvas app would do. You will need an additional flow that is PowerApps triggered.
On your Power Apps button OnSelect you can invoke a flow and pass the user context (email or name).
Start a flow in a canvas app - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn
This flow will call your HTTP-triggered flow and pass it an additional optional parameter say email.
