Outlook calendar event pull by power automate even use convertTimeZone still showing UTC

Posted on by AH-22041546-0 4

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding an Outlook event.

I set up an automation to send an email every day for events occurring one day in advance; however, the time shown in the email does not match the time listed in Outlook. Additionally, I am trying to exclude all-day events, but this is not working either.

Could someone please help review the code or advise on what might be causing these issues?

Get calendar view of event (v3)
Calendar Id: Calendar
Start Time:
convertTimeZone(utcNow(),'UTC','Central Standard Time','MM/dd/yyyy, h:mm tt')
End Time:
convertTimeZone(addDays(utcNow(), 1),'UTC','Central Standard Time','MM/dd/yyyy, h:mm tt')
 

Thank you.

Andrea

    The wrong time is showing because you’re converting utcNow() instead of the event’s actual time, and all-day events aren’t excluded because there’s no filter applied.

    convertTimeZone(items('Apply_to_each')?['start']?['dateTime'],'UTC','Central Standard Time','MM/dd/yyyy, h:mm tt')
     
    Add a condition to exclude all-day events (isAllDay = false)

    Why the wrong time shows
    Outlook returns event start / end in UTC only
    You converted utcNow() instead of converting the event’s returned time
    convertTimeZone() does not change what Outlook sends back
     
    Why all‑day events still appear
    All‑day events are stored as full‑day UTC blocks
    They are only excluded by filtering isAllDay = false
     
    Implement the conversion provided by @Vish WR.
     
    The time is wrong because Outlook returns all event times in UTC, and convertTimeZone() only formats the event after it’s returned, it does not affect what the Outlook connector outputs. You need to convert the event’s start.dateTime, not utcNow().
    All‑day events are not excluded automatically and must be filtered explicitly using isAllDay = false.
     
    ✅ Use UTC values in the calendar query
    ✅ Convert timezone only when displaying the event
    ✅ Add isAllDay = false to exclude all‑day events
