Posted on by Power Platform Comm...

Hello there,

I have created a Model driven app. when an Item is created, I need to send an email to a user and CC to Created By user.

I am using Power Automate. the action I am starting with is

In email body I should display created by(standard column) user display name.

However, I am getting only Created by 'Unique identifier' not the value i.e. display name or email ID

and another column Assigned to is a lookup from 'Users'(standard table) also not getting display name or email.

What should I use. I understand it should be simple. though I am new to Power platform.

Thanks.

Hello @Mira_Ghaly ,

Thanks for the reply. I don't mind using one of them. I need to send email to a user CC to created by and some email body with created item fields(currently I am getting those) and display name of created by user.

I found it easier to use outlook connector in case u do not want to save the Email activity in Dynamics.

So to get the created by Email you need to call the Get Row on the user entity and pass the createdby(value) and then use the Primary email from the output of this step to send the email.
