This Example Lab project demonstrates how to output a user's full name based on their email address.


Explanation

This project works by using the Fetch Entities step in order to locate and extract specific account data. The desired user email is entered as an input and passed into the Fetch Entities step. This step then fetches all account data associated with that email address and outputs this data. That data is then passed into the Create Data Step which uses the merge plain text tool to isolate the user's first and last name from the list of information. The flow then finishes by displaying a popup with the user's full name.
