How to get lookup name instead of id in send an email action in Ms Flow

Posted on by Himanshu Kamboj 379

Hi, 

I have a custom entity Lease. This lease entity contains the many lookups like user's and account.

I have created  Ms flow in which I am sending an email and I want to get the all lookup's name in the email body but as flow is triggered I am just getting the lookup's Id's.

I am using this expression in which I got the Id:- triggerOutputs()?['body/_cyno_primaryclientcontact_value'] 

and If I use:- triggerOutputs()?['body/_cyno_primaryclientcontact_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue'] then got nothing.

    Hi Himanshu,

    Maybe you can add one action ‘Get a row by ID’ action before get lookup field name.

    For example, I test I contact entity, which have one lookup field named ‘Account name’ related to account entity.

    1.Firstly, I tested it as your example, then I got the same results with you.

    triggerOutputs()?['body/_parentcustomerid_value'] can get id.

    triggerOutputs()?['body/_parentcustomerid_value_parentcustomerid_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue'] get nothing

    2.Then i add one  action ‘Get a row by ID’  with guid from the trigger, and use 

    outputs('Get_a_row_by_ID')?['body/_parentcustomerid_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']
