Trying to find a way to get the tagged users name to appear up when getting data of tagged user from a post instead of their ID in yammer. ID appears as a number and would like to have the users name on there. I was able to get the name of the person who posted the comment but not the name of the tagged person. There are two options to get details of the tagged user which both give the tagged users ID not their name. wondering if anyone has an expression formula that can be used to get the name instead of their yammer ID. The data will go to a sharepoint list

Hi @BianceBee ,

The name of the tagged user cannot be obtained directly through a function expression.

Because only the notified_user_id is provided in the output of the message.

You can get the username by adding actions. I made a sample for you.

Post a message in Yammer and notify a user.

Create a flow, and I will explain it step by step.

Get first message.

Use the ID of the notified user to get the user information and create a new item with the user name.

outputs('Get_all_messages_(V2)')?['body/value']

items('Apply_to_each')?['notified_user_ids']

items('Apply_to_each')?['notified_user_ids']

Save and run flow.

Best Regards,

Wearsky
