Hi all

I have a flow that does the following:

  • Email notification to actionee
  • Automatically assigns task in planner to that individual

What I would like to do is set a due date 5 days after the incoming correspondence in the planner task. How could I best do this? Note, i am a NOVICE!

thanks in advance

    I just realised. There was no space after the comma and the date delay. it now works. Thank you!

    Thanks very much, The suggested edit didnt work. It returned the following error:

     

    InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Create_a_task_3' inputs at line '1' and column '2405': 'The template language function 'addDays' expects a timestamp as the first parameter, the number of days to add as the second parameter, and an optional format string as the third parameter. The function was invoked with '1' parameter(s). Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#adddays for usage details.'

     

    I attached two screenshots. 1 = overall flow. 2 = detail where i want the deadline to be 5 days after receipt of the email.

    Hi @ Herc182,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

     

    Could you please share more details about your requirement?

    Could you please explain more about the "set a due date 5 days after the incoming correspondence in the planner task"?

     

    Do you want to set the due date of the task in planner 5 days from utc now as screenshot below?

    Please explain more details so we could provide a proper workaround for you.

     

     

    Regards,
    Alice Zhang
