Sharepoint List Rule - Change Person who 'Added Item'

I have created a sharepoint list that uses power automate to collect response for MS forms.

One of the columns in the list is 'Created By' as default.

The Rules to send notification from the list had originally sent the message as '[Created By] has added a new item'.

Now after setting up the flow, it says 'Kristy (Me) has added a new item' - for ALL the items (even ones I have not created).

Using power automate HTTP function, I have been able to change the 'Created By' and 'Modified By' to the actual item submitter. But it is still sending emails from the rules as though I have created them.

How do I fix this and change the person in the email to the actual submitter, not just me.

    According to your post, I understand that you want to the flow send the notification email to the who created the item.

    Here is the example flow:
