My flow needs to pull the "Manager (V2)" listed under the Azure AD user profile

[craig615]

I am building a Power App for a time off request application and I am using a flow to build and send an email to the users as well as the users managers email address. I've done this in the past directly through Power App, but this app is a bit more involved and I believe it will be easier to build this piece separate from the app itself. Does anyone know how you set the "assigned to:" section under "Start an approval" so I can set "Manager (v2)" for outlook? I know that Outlook checks Azure AD to figure out who your manager is I just don't know if I can replicate this feature in Power Automate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@craig615 in your flow adda couple of Office 365 Users actions. The first one is get user profile (v2) and in my case I'm populating it with a variable brought in from Power Apps. Then add a get manager (v2) action and from the dynamic content select Mail from the get user profile (v2) section.

You can then use outpout of that in your approval action in the assigned to field.
