Hi,
I am trying send an email. But its throwing an error for To field.
Requestor is the SP list column name ,data type single line of text . Its text input in SharePoint integrated custom form with default property as - If(SharePointform1.mode=Formmode.New,User().Fullname,Parent.Default)
Please help and suggest.
@SD29 If you flow is using the When a New Item is added or modified trigger. Could you not use the Modified By Email dynamic content instead? Assuming you want to get the email address of the user who modified the item.
hi, I just tried by changing default property setting of custom form Requestor, and Its working -
Old Value- If(SharePointform1.mode=Formmode.New,User().Fullname,Parent.Default)
New Value- If(SharePointform1.mode=Formmode.New,User().Email,Parent.Default)
But this is displaying current logged in user email address in requestor field .
Flow is triggered when when a new item is added or modified to a SP List
@SD29 Can you show a screenshot of your full flow? It's hard to help without seeing your full flow. What is your flow trigger? Are you triggering the flow when a new MS form response is submitted? Or when a new item is added to a SP List? Your current flow logic is unclear.
ok @creativeopinion .
Currently, Requestor is the SharePoint list column name ,data type single line of text . It is a text input in SharePoint integrated custom form with default property as - If(SharePointform1.mode=Formmode.New,User().Fullname,Parent.Default)
During new form -> Request control picks current logged in user and sends and email. This current logged in user value is saved in Single line text column in SharePoint list.
How to send email to Requestor?
@SD29 If the Compose action is outputting the Requestor's display name and not an email address—this is the reason you were getting the error in the Send an Email (V2) action. This action requires an email address to be entered into the To field.
You need to ensure you are selecting the correct dynamic content—one that outputs an email address.
Test run is successful with Compose Inputs & Outputs displaying same & correct Requestor display name.

@SD29 Can you delete your send an email action and insert the Requestor dynamic content into a Compose action and run a test?
