p.a. question 1.png

the start time: power automate give a guide to fill up in such a format 2020-04-07T10:00:00Z

 

in the time zone field, i select my country timezone: utc+8 (kuala lumpur)

so this start time, what should i fill up? according to my country timezone utc+8 or the Coordinated Universal Time (utc)?

 

i filled up the start time to be 2020-04-07T10:00:00Z which mean under my country time: it is 7 of april 2020, 10 a.m. morning. 

 

but when the time is 7 of april 2020, 10 a.m. morning, the flow did not run.

my recurrence is set to be every day, run at 10a.m. morning.

 

how to let the flow to run at the intended start time.

 

did i construct the recurrence wrongly?

 

thank you.

    Hi @AceWong ,

     

    If you have set the Time zone to your country time zone, you can set the start time to the zero of that day, and then Flow will be triggered when the hours and minutes you specified arrive.

    If you have set the Time zone to your country time zone, you can configure the time according to your habits.

     

    For example, I configured Recurrence as follows, Flow will be triggered at 2020-04-08T00: 00: 00Z Beijing time.

    Doesn't matter which I am from.

    Yes it works as expected I believe timezone is new feature if it's not working as expected I'd just stick to what I mentioned

    hi @Gristy ,

    what is your timezone? where you from?

     

    so, you just leave it blank under the time zone field?

    and fill up the start time field according to utc?

     

    working soon so far?

     

    thank you
