My flow is failing because the date is passed as
Hi @stapes ,
Is it a date picker you're using to generate the date? If so, then change the Format property of the date picker to:
"dd/mm/yyyy"
@stapes
You can control the format of a date being passed to Flow using the TEXT function.
YourFlowName.Run(Text(your_date_here,"dd/mm/yyyy"))
There's also a quite useful post on how to do it inside Flow here.

I'm not sure who you are referring to as "you guys"...

The order of the month and day in a date is dependent on the regional settings in the app. Since you are passing it from Power Apps to Power Automate I would recommend passing it as a text variable and then converting it inside Flow. You can then control the formatting of the date passed as text using the following formula in Power Apps
Text(Today(),"[$-en-US]dd/mm/yyyy")
Then in Flow you can convert it back when you want to use it. You can't store a date as a variable in Power Automated anyway, so you need to convert it if you want to store it.
What is the best way to pass date information from PowerApps to Flow with the PowerAppV2 trigger? Trying to add an input date to the trigger.
Having problems configuring the string/date to match what Powerapps wants to send and what Flow wants to receive.
Solved - case sensitive characters. oops
