Get the email address of the user that created a folder

‎03-27-2020 03:04 PM

When a file is uploaded to a folder in a document library I want to email the user that created the folder that a new file has been added. Is it possible to get the email address of the user that created the folder in a flow?

Hi @jpot125 

 

@ChristianAbata  @jpot125  is asking for user who created the folder not the file who created.

 

I did tried this and challenged me. Good question 🙂 Finally I got it.

 

Here is the flow steps you want.
