As title suggests.
The office 365 version of nintex has a nice formula userProfileLoookup that helps to retrieve valuable information. I was wondering if we have a similar function in cloud.
What is the equivalent of userProfileLookup in nintex cloud?
+16Hi @mjain
Use the SharePoint Online - Query User Profile
Configure a) the Connection. b) the User email address and c) the Output variable name
Example
The Output variable holds the User's Profile Details. To access the variable using the Context:
SharePoint Online - User (The named Output Variable) - Properties
Cheers

If you mean on the form you can use external data with a data source variable.

While I used to use sharepoint userprofile lookup Nintex forms for Sharepoint or on O365, I have now switched to using an active directory connection for user details on my NWC forms.
SharePoint user profiles rely on a sync from Azure AD to SharePoint user profile service and that is not always up to date or if a user has not logged in yet, then their sharepoint user profiles are not yet populated.
This video how to work with data source variables for a sharepoint list but should help you with how to use data source variable just use an Azure AD get user connection
