Posted on by aghrt

Hi folks,

I have a Yammer integration that is triggered on a new Yammer post that is successfully creating a message in Slack. However, in the message formatting, I would like to put the username of the person who posted the message. So far, the only thing that I've figured out how to do is get the sender_id which is a numeric string versus usernames or, ideally, the user's name.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? (as a side note, this is my second flow... so... hopefully this isn't painfully obvious).

Best regards, +A

Alright! I found how to do this. Apparently, there is another Yammer connector "Get User Details" that you would add to your flow between the initial trigger and the Slack message. This allows you to get all of the stored details of the user. Watch out though, in our case, the user information was reversed for user's first/last name. Probably how our Yammer instance was setup... but ... something to look out for. Test test test.

Hope this helps someone else.
