Send an email V3 - Email Subject contains date

ReportReport
Posted on by cheezy 148

i have a flow that picks up an email attachment but the subject includes current date is so name is not consistent.

for example today's subject is "Full Day Extract 2021-08-19" , yesterdays "Full Day Extract 2021-08-18" etc

is there anyway to consistently pick up the email attachment in this scenario?

    Hi @cheezy ,

     

    You can use the concat() and formatDateTime() expressions.

     

    concat('Extract ', formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd'))
