How to change requestor name

[GoldMed]

Hello!
I'm using Power Automate flow to create a form for approving travel request.

Someone in the organization fill the form, and should be sent to someone for approval.

But everytime a form is submitted The software think it's me who submitted the request and not who fill the form. I'm listed as "Request By" everytime. 
The Approval/Rejected notice comes to my organization's email box and not who filled the form.

If I used "get my profile", It gets my profile.

How can I change it?

Hello,

How is the approval triggered? If you want the logged in user you can use User().email

Hi,

The flow is triggered automatically when a new response is submitted.

where should I use User().email?

Thank you!

Oh okay so its a flow, my response is based on that it was a PowerApp.

Change the connector of the approval step in the flow like this:

I don't have an option for run-only users.

Do I need to change something in the settings?

[StretchFredrik]

Then you are using a trigger which isnt done by a user but by schedule or similar. You cant run as the user context when no User has triggered it. 

Do you have a email or similar of the user that is the one sending it for approval? 

Please share a picture of your flow.

This is the flow, the excel part is that he take data from an excel file of projects.

before the approval part the is create an item on share point where I create a record in a list of requests.

after the approval there is another condition which change the status of the request according to the outcome.

I'm very new to this platform 🙂

You need to have a user email to put in the "Requestor" box of the approval step, otherwise it will always run as the connector signin.

I saw a solution which involve the Requestor field but couldn't understand what to put there.

which email user can I put that will give access to the response's creator?
