Hi,
I need to fetch the username by using user\_id.
I am getting user\_id from the inventory log.
query {
inventory\_changes(date\_from: “2021-05-30”) {
request\_id
complexity
data {
edges {
node {
user\_id
account\_id
warehouse\_id
sku
previous\_on\_hand
change\_in\_on\_hand
reason
cycle\_counted
location\_id
created\_at
}
}
}
}
}
How to get the username(Inventory Changed By) using user\_id.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @supritha ,
What is the request-id that is returned so I can take a closer look?

This query will give the user name:
```auto
query {
picks_per_day(date_from: "2021-04-30") {
request_id
complexity
data {
edges {
node {
id
user_id
tote_id
line_item_id
location_id
order_id
order_number
user_first_name
user_last_name
inventory_bin
sku
quantity
picked_quantity
pick_type
barcode_scanned
created_at
}
cursor
}
}
}
}
```

Hi,
Is there any case where user\_id returned from inventory\_changes API is not in packs\_per\_day to fetch user\_first\_name?
User Id returned from inventory\_changes query, for all those id’s can we get the username from packs\_per\_day.
```auto
query {
packs_per_day(user_id: ${userId}) {
request_id
complexity
data {
edges {
node {
user_first_name
user_last_name
}
}
}
}
}
```
Thanks in advance.

Hi
If you get a userId, the query should return a result as long as the user did pack on that day.

Hi,
So this query will return username only if that user packed on that day.
If the user does an inventory change and will not pack on that day, this query will not return the username.
Can I get any other query where fetching username using user\_id is not dependent on any other thing?

Is there any other API to fetch username using user id, which is not dependent on packs\_per\_day?

Hi @supritha!
We apologize for the delayed response about this.
We have made an internal request to add this either to a new query or to the account query as a connection.
Thanks again for the patience and we will keep you updated on the progress of the request!

I am interested in this as well.
We’re linking `picks_per_day` + `packs_per_day` data to our timesheet data. User first name + last name are a bit weak as far as keys go, so we’re hoping to translate user IDs to email addresses and link those to timesheets.

I was about to post this exact question when I found this topic. I also need to know the user first+last name instead of user\_id when querying for inventory changes.
This topic is more than an year old - was this ever implemented and is there a solution now?
Thank you

Hey @Raj,
Unfortunately, this has not been implemented yet and I don’t believe there is a work around for this.
I have added a +1 internally for this and left a comment.
I’ll keep you all posted on the progress of this feature request!
Best,

What is the status if this request? Will it get get added? When?
This is a very basic function that should be in your API.

Hey @bbarrett,
Thanks for reaching out!
I’m unable to share much information about our development process, but there are no updates to share at the moment. I’ll bump this internally and relay your feedback for this.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,
