sending email export from powerbi via powerautomate

Hi,

 

I have setup a button that takes some field from PowerBi into power automate, formats them into a atable and emails them to me.

 

When setting the recipient email address I tried to use the PowerBi "User Email" dynamic content but the email never arrvies.  Whenb I look at the failed flow the recipient address has been filled with a long string of garbage (sample provided).  Any idea why its not putting in the email address of the person who clicked the button?  I assumed thats whats supposed to happen.

 

Also, is there a way to enter the recipient email address either into the PowerBi report before clicking the button, or when it's clicked and that can be used as the recipent for the email in the flow?

Thanks for the suggestions but none of these really match my case.  These all reate to Forms however I am trying to send an email from PowerBi.  I've created the button and brought out all the data I need etc but the issue is the email address of the recipient.  I'm using the PowerBi "User Email" field but I get the error.  if I put a static email address it works but I need it to prepopulat with whoever is clicking the export button in the PowerBi Dashboard
