Hello guys,

I have two strings, that cannot be changed before being input into th correct fields in the "create a teams meeting" function in MS flow. I'm always getting the following errors with parseDateTime and formatDate Time functions:

formatDateTime(outputs('Termin'),'yyyyddMMThh:mm:ss')
 
How can I convert the string reading '18.11.2024 16:30' to a ISO 8601-frindly format in that specific step?
 
Thank you in advance

You can try the parseDateTime function:

parseDateTime('18.11.2024 16:30', 'en-gb','dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm')

will return 2024-11-18T16:30:00.0000000

See: Reference guide for expression functions - Azure Logic Apps | Microsoft Learn | parseDateTime
