Approval flow showing diffrent requested my name

[Henok22]

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently using start approval when a new item is added templet. When submitting, approver gets the email but there is a line that says Requested by and it shows my name and email as a requester.

The actual requester shows in the lower part with name and date. I am using another users account to create the request. I have created the SharePoint site but not the list nor the flow.

When creating the flow I have used general IT email. This email is not associated with my account. I don’t know where this flow is getting my name and email. I have attached the images for flow and email the approver gets

Thanks in advance!
