Notification Salutation Issue - Flow Designer

Sending a notification from Flow Designer. In Salutation like Dear {username}, 

 

I'm getting sys_id of the user, if I give it as "trigger_record.requested for"

And getting blank if I use "trigger_record.requested for.name"

I wanted to display it as "Dear FullName,"

 

For testing I added name, first name, last name, email id , requested for as below

The result is like this

Hi,

 

I have tried Notification instead of Email which was working fine now. Attaching the snips for others who are facing the issue.

Change the below "Send Email" to "Send Notification" and there tag your notification.

Note: Set 'Send When' to "Triggered" under When to Send section

@Aruna Sree Yela Did you check if the user with whom you are testing has name, first_name, last_name, email fields populated? Ideally, trigger_record.requested for.name should print the name of the user.

@Sandeep Rajput , Yes the user have those values

@Aruna Sree Yela Looks like the reference to name/first_name or getting lost when the notification is triggered.

 

Could you please apply the string trim() transformation as follows on the name field and see if it works.
