Send An Email v2 Format Date as MM/dd/yyyy

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mgleason 11

I have a Flow using Send an email v2 when a new item is created in a SharePoint list

The SharePoint list has an  ‘Event Date’ field in it and I want that date to be part of a Flow Send to email v2. It works but the Date field shows in the email as for example 2023-06-26.  I would like to reformat the date in the email to show 06/26/2023.  Is this possible.

Here is my Send to Email in my Flow:

    Hi @mgleason 

     

    Pls use the below expression to change the format of datetime field:

    formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/EventDate'],'MM/dd/yyyy')

    ManishSolanki_0-1687282687250.png

    here, triggerOutputs()?['body/EventDate'] is the field value from the trigger flow (item created or modified). You may change the field as per your need.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
