Date from Email to SP via Flow

Posted on by Taylope1

So I get an email that I suck into my flow using HTML to Text. I pull out the date from this line :

Renewal Date: 30-09-2020 10:01 (so I end up with 30-09-2020 10:01). Can someone please tell me how I can get this into SharePoint? Whenever I try and handle the date in Flow it mentions wrong format/UTC etc...and "The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format.' Help appreciated please.

Hi @Taylope1,

I tried formatDateTime() function to convert your timestamp into one could be used in SharePoint, but it not ISO 8601 format, so it failed.

As a workaround, you could break the timestamp and re-collage by using split() function, for example:

1. Use split(outputs('Compose'),' ') could divide the timestamp into date and time (30-09-2020 and 10:01)

2. Use split(split(outputs('Compose'),' ')[0],'-') could divide the date into day, month and year (30, 09 and 2020)

3. Then re-collage them inorder, yyyy-MM-dd hh:ss

You could create a simple flow as below, and copy the following code and paste it into Compose2 action to have a try:

@{split(split(outputs('Compose'),' ')[0],'-')[2]}-@{split(split(outputs('Compose'),' ')[0],'-')[1]}-@{split(split(outputs('Compose'),' ')[0],'-')[0]} @{split(outputs('Compose'),' ')[1]}

Re: Date from Email to SP via Flow

the ISO 8601 format is

YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00)

So your dates should look like either of the below format

2020-09-30T10:01+0:00

09/30/2019 10:01:00

Hi @Taylope1

Use expression formatDateTime to convert the value to yyy-MM-dd hh:mm format. Then map the formatted value to SharePoint.

Thanks
