kmarshallsay as you are the owner of the flow a Send an email (v2) will always come from you. In my company we don't use Send an email (v2) unless they are personal flows, we always have a shared mailbox related to the subject (e.g. HR-Induction, HR-Leavers, Application-Support etc etc) and then use the "Send an email from a shared mailbox" action.

  Thank you guys, so changed the email to a Shared Mailbox and then put the off going shift dynamic expression into the body of the email so that management know who the last person on shift was.
