Parse Date from email body to SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by sarahairis

Hi everyone,

 

I tried to parse date text from email to sharepoint list. I use this formula trim(split(body('Filter_array')[8],':')[1]) and when I put in create item, it has an error, 

 

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/OrderStartDate' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '"27/09/2022"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'.

    Nevermind, I already resolved it. I just need to change the field type, instead of date and time, I change to single text
