UTC date time

Posted on by akbarmahfuzalam 709

Hi Team,

Hope someone can help me out on this. I have created a flow wherein its a manual trigger flow with a button.

I don't want step no two I want it dynamically act upon the location and system where it triggers.

Because this flow is been used globally. If I use to convert the time zone then I need to create 20+ of them for a different location.

 

So, what I want can I create One Flow for all location and it should trigger their location date and time when they submit the Flow.

 

And I am storing their data into Sharepoint List. Which is making my life hell I need to convert each and every location-wise their date and time because it is capturing UTCNOW.

Any input from this community to resolve this is very helpful.

    Hi @akbarmahfuzalam,

     

    You could append the Name of Time Zone into the Destination time zone field of Convert time zone action, you could refer to this document to check the Name of Time Zone for corresponding County and area:

    Microsoft-time-zone-index-values 

    For example, Name of Time zone for Brasilia is E. South America Standard Time:

    Name of Time Zone Time
    E. South America Standard Time (GMT-03:00) Brasilia

     

    SO we could store it into a string variable and convert it as below:Annotation 2020-09-09 111856.jpg

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi @akbarmahfuzalam 

     

    Add an input parameter string type and ask the user to input the country name. Based on the country name you could set the  Convert Time Zone - Destination parameter. 

     

    Thanks
