Power Automate - Change variable from LastName/FirstName to FirstName LastName

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hey Guys,

 

I am working on an approval system workflow and I am using the standard list variable  "Created By," but it lists the output as (LastName, FirstName). I would like to see if it would be possible to create a variable or somehow change this variable to FirstName LastName? I am working on an emailed response, and I need the variable to display the persons FirstName LastName. I have checked the forums but could not find a precise solution. Any help is much appreciated...

    You can use the Office 365 Get User Profile action.  Supply the Created By Email address as the input.  You'll use the Given name and Surname from the Dynamic properties under the Get User Profile action.
