Changing time zone in shifts email

(0) Share

Posted on by OppsaddOM

Hi,

I've built a flow that sends out an automated email to people when I add a shift for them on shifts. It is working well, but I would like to include the time and date of the shift on the email. I've tried adding Shift Draft Changes > Start Time and Shift Draft Changes > End time and it does show up in the email. Unfortunately, it is in UTC time rather than our local time. How can I change the time zone on the email? Below is what I currently have:

Thanks

There is an expression convertfromUTC()
that you can use to convert to another time zone.

Here you'll find the names that you have to use in the expression.

Thanks. What I don't understand is where I need to use the expression and how I do that?

This is a very good tutorial.
Power Automate flow Expressions Tutorial - YouTube

I always suggest starting with a compose action when dealing with dynamic content and expressions,
so you can see what you are actually getting.
When you click in the field of the compose action you will notice the little fx symbol on the top right. You need to click there and then enter the expression.

Thanks, I'm still not really getting where to do it. I thought that I'd got it all right, but I can't seem to change the output in the email. I'm sure that there's something that I'm missing here.
