Hi,
I have a problem getting Power BI user email.
I tested my Power Automate Flow with my email as a sender, and everything works fine, but when I try to set the user who triggers the flow as a sender my flow fails.
The flow fails because they can't find the user's email.
The Power BI User Email looks like this "XXXXXWt1bEBhY2N1cmF0ZS10aS5jb20="; it's not an email address.
How can I fix this problem?
Thank you for all your help in advance
Hi @Jsomkul ,
If it is only one user then you share your power automate flow with him and you ask him to update from to his email box.
I hope it will be helpful.
Thanks,
Sai Teja
I was able to use copilot to figure it out. You need to use a decode function with the user email. Mine requried me to use
decodebase64
Hi GibertQ, Thank you for your suggestions.
I looked everywhere, and I watched many youtube videos and read the documentation. none of them have any solution related to this. They can use this "User Email" dynamic field just fine, but I cannot get the email address.
I suspect that it might be some settings or permissions that I need to change, but i don't know what is it.
Hi, @Jsomkul
I'm afraid that getting the flow trigger's email address is not feasible at this time.

Hi, It's not from my data.
It's a dynamic field provided in Power BI Automation. how can I fix that?
Hi @Jsomkul
I would suggest going and looking at how to fix the Power BI Automation step you are talking about.
Hi @Jsomkul
I would make sure as you said that the email address is in the right format so that it can be successfully sent.
