Workflow: Variable/Placeholder for "currentUser" ?

[dirk.dinger]

Hello Espo Community,
I would like to send the name of the user that triggered a manual workflow as part of the header or payload of the HTTP POST Request.
Is there a variable like {$currentuser.name} I can use ?
Kind regards,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

You can write the user name into a variable in an Execute Formula Script action added before your Send HTTP Request action. In the formula script:

$userName = env\userAttribute('name');

Then, in your Send HTTP Request action in payload:

{
    "userName": "{$$userName}"
}

Note that if you need the username, use env\userAttribute('userName');
