Posted on by 4
I am trying to create a recurring flow that, at the beginning of each month, will move files to a subfolder with the previous month's name.  Unfortuately, I have run into difficulty at the very beginning.  I used the following tile to trigger the flow:
 
 
To create the file name, I used the Expression AddToTime tile.
 
 
When I tried testing the flow, I received the following error at the Expression AddToTime tile
 
I feel this is a simple error but I am new to Power Automate and cannot figure out what may be the issue.  Your help would be grately appreciated.

    Please disregard this quesiton.  I realized, after the fact, that the error was not how the date and time were formatted.  It had everything to do with understading how the flow actually works.  I have made some adjustements and the flow is now starting to work.  Best regards.
