Command for 'created by author'

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

I have a flow triggered by a creation of an item in sharepoint. It sends an e-mail to 2 different e-mails that an item is created and it starts a flow. In the e-mail title I want to show the name of the person who created the item on sharepoint. I found the 'Responders e-mail', which shows the correct e-mail in my step 1, command but I can't find the 'Responders name' command.

For now I use outputs('Create_Item')?['body/Author/Displayname'] command but it shows my name (I am the other e-mail recipient) instead of the one who created the item.

This is step 1 of my total flow. In my last step I also want to show the creators name. Each step consists of a seperated flow and they get triggered by each other.

Any help please?

Referencing the Authors display name is the right way to do this - you get there by selecting Created By Display name from Dynamic properties.

Can you take a look at the document properties and verify the creator?

Can you post a screen shot of your Flow?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You should refer to screenshot below to choose the Created By DisplayName dynamic content as @ScottShearer mentioned:

Thank you all for your input. I got a solution, for now. The e-mail info is from a MS forms so I 'get details MS Form creator' and then use the e-mail adress it picked up from that.
