Posted on by JT-23041153-0 2
Very new to this so please stay with me :-)
 
I am trying to set up a scheduled out of office for outlook as I don't work on Fridays.
 
How do I set the Start and End times so the flow will work?  I dont appear yo have any drop downs or dynamic content available?
 
Can anyone assist please.
 
Thanks, Jacquie

    In Power Automate, create a Scheduled (Recurrence) flow that runs every day (e.g. 6 AM).
    Then add a Condition:
    dayOfWeek(utcNow()) = 5
    (Sunday = 0, so Friday = 5)
    IF YES (it is Friday):
    Set Outlook Out of Office using:
    Start:
    formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00')
    End:
    formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-ddT23:59:59')
    IF NO:
    Do nothing (end flow)
