You could get the user data:
user = event.request.body.record; (this is the body of the initial request, you have access to it)
var user_data = _.first(platform.api.get('my-db/users?fields=name,email,city,information', {
filter: "email = " + user.email
}).record);
then use it:
platform.api.post('email', {
"username": user_data.name,
"city": user_data.city,
"information": user_data.information,
"template": "My Template Name",
"to": [
{
"name": user_data.name,
"email": user_data.email
}
]
});
