Time Zone issues

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

I am using a number of Flows to get responses from Microsoft Forms with Great success. Recently I was adding another flow on a new Microsoft Form and the time reported has increased by 5 hours. The time I am reporting is the submission time of the form. This has worked flawlessly in the past. Forms response has the correct time but email created by flow adds 5 hours to the submission time. If the Form was submitted at 6am then the emails reports the time as 11am.

 

Can anyone recommend a solution? The last one is exactly the same as the others listing the submission time in the flow, results are a time 5 hours later than the actual submission from Forms.

 

 

Thanks Jerrell

    Your Solution works, Thank You!

    It is very odd to me that I have 19 identical flows all working give me the correct times and this one flow I need to setup date and time formatting to get the correct time. I guess this will be the new normal/template for future flows of this type.

     

    Thanks Again!

    When the flow reads the date & time values as UTC values. You must change it to your local time by using Convert time zone action as shown below:

    In the Base time field, place "Form Submission Date & Time" value. 

    In Source Time Zone: Select UTC as shown above.

    In Destination time zone: Select your local time zone.

    Format string as you want.

     

    Give a try and post here.
