    Re: Add days to time stamp

    thanks for the answer, 

     

    Is there any way I can add 2or3 days, data given by MS form or by manual tigger.? currently I'm using this expression which only adds days to current date. 

    formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),2),'dd-MMMM-yyyy')

    Thank you so much in advanced.

    Re: Add days to time stamp

    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?

    Re: Add days to time stamp

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

    Re: Add days to time stamp

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

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

     

    FlowParamOnStart4.PNG

     

    And there is notification that came to mail:

     

    FlowParamOnStart5.PNG

    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.

    Re: Add days to time stamp

    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

    Re: Add days to time stamp

    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.

    Re: Add days to time stamp

    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
