You can use Postman to chain several HTTP requests together, with variables (such as "global variable" or "environment variable") to save result of one request, and use it in the next one.

First, in the request that create the user and receive id, set variable in its "Tests" panel (take global variable for example):

Then, you can use this global variable in subsequent requests. In URL of GET request for example:

Or, in the body of another POST request:

There are several types of variable and many related features in Postman, you can check the document and pick the most appropriate one.
