How can we get the email address of a SAML user from a Workflow?

Hi Daniel,

When you look at one of these users' profiles via the LFDS UI, do you see an email value present for them?

No there are no email address in LFDS for all SAML accounts. We could possible manually fill in that info but SAML accounts already have that info on Azure AD side, and if an email changes for a user on that side, then it would be out of sync in LFDS.

Is there a mechanism in LFDS that auto populate that email field?

But again, the Laserfiche workflow should have the ability to access such info with its FIndUser activity.

Okay gotcha, in this case you will want to set up claim mappings for your SAML identity provider first. Once the claim mappings are set up, the mapped claims should be filled out once the user logs in to Laserfiche. Once you have that email data in LFDS, you can decide which approach you want to take including possibly using the LFDS SDK to retrieve the data.

OK thanks for this suggestion. But do you know if Laserfiche will update its Workflow activity to better support getting email addresses from LFDS, just like in domains

I don't believe that this functionality is on the Workflow team roadmap at this time. The LFDS SDK is probably your best bet.
