Other ways to set timezone than "Recurrence"?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MM-05080756-0 431

As the title says, are there other ways than to set a recurrence to make a Flow understand what time zone I want to use?

I ask because I want to keep everything "clean", in this case, I simply do not need the Flow to run on a schedule but only on a trigger.

    Hi MrthM,

     

    Yes, there is one way other than Recurrence. Flow currently returns dates from connections in UTC, unless you apply a transformation. Currently, the only transformations allowed are the ones by formatDateTime as documented at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/logic/definition-language

     

    We are considering conversions to specified time zones in the future, as a function or as an extra action. Please stay tuned!

     

    Regards,

    Mona

    Thank you very much,

    Sorry but the information on that page way over my head 🙂 I do not even know where to insert code in a Flow. Is there maybe a "code for dummies"?
