Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everybody,

 

I am trying to create a scheduled flow to create an appointment in my agenda, in this schedule the flow starts at a specific time 1 week before the schedule.

For this to happen, the start date must be 7 days, 3 hours and 15 minutes from the recurrence date.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Try this expression to get the start date. When using multiple functions you can stack them this way and use the result of the previous as the input for the next.

    addMinutes(addHours(addDays(utcNow(),7),3),15)
