Good Day,

I am trying to fix my power automate flow, I am trying to setup morning out of office replies between 00:00:00 and 07:59:00, so it triggers an out of office reply between 12am and 7:59am before the start of the work day at 8am but I am getting this error:

The scheduled duration for sending automatic replies isn't valid.
clientRequestId: 0b883d6f-aacf-4538-b4b7-9867f2e28e1f
serviceRequestId: eaabeabc-6511-d08d-f632-d78c9db7a91e

these are my start and end expressions:

formatDateTime(convertTimeZone(startOfDay(utcNow()), 'UTC', 'Atlantic Standard Time'), 'yyyy-MM-ddT04:00:00Z')

formatDateTime(convertTimeZone(startOfDay(utcNow()), 'UTC', 'Atlantic Standard Time'), 'yyyy-MM-ddT11:59:00Z')

any help would be amazing!

Please share a screen shot of your flow and where you are using these expressions. Without seeing your flow, I don't understand how the expressions would be applicable.

Hi david, thanks for the reply!

It is the Setup out of office replies template,

One recurrence step and one set up automatic replies step.

The expressions are in Start time & End Time respectively

this works for my weekend flow but not for my morning or evening flow, which I want to setup automatic replies for between 12am AST - 7:59 AST as well as 4:31Pm AST and 11:59pm AST, the example I am using here is my 'morning' reply flow.
