Posted on by IslamFahmy5 30

Hi everyone,

 

I am facing an issue with the time and region format, as while my flow its run on a dynamic way its run based on united state date format instead of United Kingdom despite of my share point list & power automate region format as United Kingdom.

 

EXP the birthday for someone at 01/Nov but the automation birthday email sent at today 11/Jan.

    Power Automate doesn't know about your local date format and won't run based on it.
    In Power Automate, a date is an ISO-8601 formatted string and the connectors usually expect dates in this format.

     

    Ok, PA can convert some American date formats automatically to ISO-8601, but that shouldn't be relevant to non-Americans and in my opinion does more harm than good 😉
