Is there a way to capture the username of the person who had just ran a flow?

I would like to save the data on to a list.

    Hi @MikeRooker

     

    You can capture the username and email. Please see below for the manual trigger.

    If its from a selected item trigger you can get the details from user name dynamic property.

    • triggerOutputs()?['headers']?['x-ms-user-name'] to get the name of the user

     

    • triggerOutputs()?['headers']?['x-ms-user-email'] to get the email of the user that triggered the flow from the power app.
