I am building a flow to forward some form details into an email into Todoist specifically. Todoist allows some variables to be passed along so it can build in due dates. Not thing fancy.

Example would be I can forward an email to my todoist email, with "<Date 01/02/2024>" in the body and it parses it on their end. Cool.

When I go to do it in PA, I use escape character like this "\<Date VARIABLE\>"

But it parses it as code and wont let me use it. If I put a space after < it works, but todoist wont parse it properly.

How can I get around this?

Hi @JDL1

Pls try using concat function in the form of an expression:

concat('<Date ', formatDateTime(utcNow(),'MM/dd/yyyy'),'>')

pls modify the formatdatetime as per your need.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thanks for the reply. However, it appears I am missing something here. The result of the below pictures is that nothing comes through (I stripped out the formatdatetime just for simplicity).
