PVA Call to Action - Date Input: "BindingIncorrectTypeError"

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by stanswell84

Hi,

I have a PVA which asks for a Start and End Date.

I have a Call to Action Flow that take that information and sends it out as a Teams Message. In Flow, I can only put the Date Input as Text.

The flow is fine, but PVA comes up with a "BindingIncorrectTypeError" on the action as the Input in PVA is Date but the input in Flow is Text.

How can I solve this?

TIA!

Use the Set Variable action in PVA and the Text() function to make a text version of the date variable.

I seem to have the same issue. Using the Set Variable action doesn't allow me to set the Choice variable to Text.

You need to be using the new preview editor. In that there is an action for setting a variable value. YOu can't convert it on the fly when calling the action.

Yes I tried to do that, but I can't convert it to anything, I only get the option to set it to one of my choices:

Are you sure you are in the Preview Editor? You have to use the flyout to get to the Formula tab so you can enclose the old value in a function like Text() to convert the value.

The variables are accessed in functions as a property of the Topics object. So to convert Var1 if its a date you use

Text(Topic.Var1)

Check my previous screenshot.

Sorry, I have the same problem, how do I go to the preview editor? I have the same problem in "to value", they only offer me the choices. Do I need to create another variable that isn't called exposure in "set variable"?
