Hi @Anonymous,

It should be used this way:

formatDateTime(addDays(utcnow(),30),'dd-MMMM-yyyy')

Hi

Thank you for your reply, but is not working.
I am creating an flow that sends email when a PDF file is created in a specific file
The email must contain 2 dates, current date and 2 days later date

For current date i am using :
formatDateTime(utcnow(),'dd-MMMM-yyyy')

I have not been able to find a way to have the date 2 days into the future

Hi @Anonymous,

Sorry I had 30 days in expression I posted, the correct one is below:

formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),2),'dd-MMMM-yyyy')
As addDays() adds number behind , to utcNow() - today.
Hope it will help.

Hi @vecerpa

I am sorry for bothering you
The string just does not want to work for me 🙂
It just gives me the same date as the first string

formatDateTime(utcnow(),'dd-MMMM-yyyy') gives me the current date as i want
Attached are shipping documents for our flight into Liege 26-February-2018

formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),2),'dd-MMMM-yyyy') also gives me the same date
• Goods are for Bell arrival on 26-February-2018

But what i want to do is to have the date 2 days later
• Goods are for Bell arrival on 28-February-2018

I have tryed for days

Hi @Anonymous,

I use it directly in mail notification, no need to compose it. Just use expression inside body of email:

And there is notification that came to mail:

So my question is, as I see that output from compose is named as output and you are using two compose actions, if you placed correct output to body. I don't see the dynamic contect tab on left on printscreen.

Hi @Anonymous,
Yes it is possible, just in formatdate use 'dddd' and this will give you day in name like Monday.

I tried these steps in "Manually trigger a flow to create a task in Outlook" with the OOTB Flow template. It doesn't work.

However, when I create a blank flow and then perform the steps; it works like a charm.

Hence, the Flow Template for "manually trigger a flow to create a task" is broken and doesn't support setting due date.

Hi,

Have a date field 'End Date' in SharePoint which I'm trying to send an email notification 30 days after the date set in that field.

So rather than add days to UTC now I'm tring to add days to the date field 'End Date'

I want my flow condition to be 'End date is equal to End date + 30days'

Is this possible and can anyone help with the expression?
