Send an email or teams message to the user that created a planner task, once the task is marked as finished

Hey there everyone,

I am struggling to wrap my head around how I could create an automation that informs the creator of the planner task once the task is finished.
Up until now I only got to creating a group channel message once ANY task is finished, but I want to make it a personal message and send the notification to only the person (any maybe one team lead, so a variable and a static adress).

I just can´t wrap my head around how to get the name of the creator and paste it into a team message recipient or to find out a mail adress from a creator id.

@asdasd12354312 You can use a Get user profile (V2) action in your flow to get the profile of the user who created the task.

You can use the Mail dynamic content in the appropriate notification action.

Thanks, that solved the problem partially, but since we don´t really use the mail adresses, I played around a little and found a solution for writing a teams message as well and now it works perfectly.
Thanks for the help!
