I am trying to set the timeout period for an email with options.

I am using the standard ISO format of 'PT1D' as shown in the settings for my email action:

TimeSpan 02.png

And yet I still get an error that this is not a valid TimeSpan value, is there something I am doing wrong here?

Re: The Sting is not a valid TimeSpan value

You need to use the following format.
In days: P1D
In hours: PT2H
In minutes: PT2M

I have replaced my PT2D to PT48H, will know if this works soon enough 🙂

Hi LadyStorm,
The problem was indeed a syntax (ISO format) issue. Based on the Hint that we get on the UI of the flow, I was misled.
The rule is P (Period) T(duration) H (Hour) M(Minute) S(Second).
Thanks for your reply 🙂

PT6H works and so does PT48H

maybe it does not like the D for day?

Hi ASolomon,

Not sure how is your flow configured. Could you show me a full screenshot of your flow configuration?

I am trying to reproduce this issue on my side.

Best regards,
