Posted on by Faby619 10

Hi Team,

I have a SharePoint list as below where I wanted to create a flow that will post a message in a teams channel on the day before the starting date showing for the item

After create item, I added a compose to retrieve the date day before the exact date.

    Hi @Faby619 

     

    To fix this issue, append 'Z' as plain text in 'Delay Until' action. Here is an example:

    This will pause the execution based on UTC time, but you need to adjust the local time zone.

     

     

     

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