Hi,

I assume you have Administration module which has Account entity and capture the email with that entity.

As you already figured out, you must use $currentUser to get the current logged in user, you can pass that to a microflow, use inheritance and cast it to Account. Something like below and use the account object to get the Email

Do you know how to add administrator module?

In version 8.17 you can find the account entity in the domain model as found in appstore modules / administration

If Administration module is present, it can be found here: Project ‘MailService’- App Store modules.
