Delay notification

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

 

I am trying to do the following

1. email notification when a new item is created in SharePoint - No issue.

2. email notification after 8 hours to update the SharePoint list - facing issue. 

 

Logic i  am using 

1. use created time in SharePoint & converting into the required timezone

2. adding 8 hours via "Add to time"

3. using delay until connector.

4. sending mail

 

getting following error

"The 'timestamp' value of the 'Wait' action 'until' inputs must be specified in UTC using the round-trip date/time pattern (for example, '2015-10-22T10:00:00Z'). For details please review the Standard Date and Time Format Strings of the .Net framework." 

 

any solution?

    Could you show the expressions you have inside each step in the flow?

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Please, be sure that you use ISO 8601 format in the Delay until expression:

    formatDateTime(body('add_to_time'),'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ')

    Hope it helps!
