Hi,

Hi Tom,

Welcome to Octopus!

To have a better understanding of what you are trying to do, you have an email address which you can get access to from using the $OctopusParameters[“Octopus.Deployment.CreatedBy.EmailAddress”] variable

You’d like to get the Initials of the email.

If that is correct you can do it in a PowerShell script:

$Email = $OctopusParameters[“Octopus.Deployment.CreatedBy.EmailAddress”]

foreach($X in $Email)
{
$UserName = $X
$UserInt = $UserName.Substring(0,1) + ($Username -split ‘.’)[1].substring(0,1)
Write-Output “UserName = $UserName `n UserInt = $UserInt”
}

Once you have your initials, you can now get those in a separate variable and use them how you’d like.

I hope this has helped you.

Kind regards,
Ziaul
