Help writing SharePoint Created date to SQL table

I need some assistance with a flow I'm creating. The flow is supposed to take the items in a SharePoint list on a given frequency, write them to our SQL DB, then delete the SP records.

My flow is failing when trying to write the SP Created date to the Created (datetime DataType) field in my SQL table. I've tried modifying a solution I found to a different problem here but am still having issues.

I tried the below code but got the error in the screenshots.

convertToUtc(outputs('Get_items')?['Created'], 'GMT Standard Time')

I've tried the following code but am still receiving errors.

1. convertToUtc(outputs('Get_items')?['body/Created'], 'GMT Standard Time') 2. convertToUtc(outputs('Get_items')?['value/Created'], 'GMT Standard Time') 3. convertToUtc('Get_items'()?['Created'], 'GMT Standard Time') Error: One or more fields provided is of type 'Null', a different type is expected.

Hi @kriggo15 ,

Please take a try with expression below:

convertToUtc(items('Apply_to_each')?['Created'], 'GMT Standard Time')

@v-alzhan-msft, unfortunately that resulted in an error seen below.

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Insert_row_(V2)' inputs at line '1' and column '22920': 'The template language function 'convertToUtc' expects its second parameter to be a time zone matching the time zone indicated by the timestamp. The provided value '(UTC+00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London' is not valid or does not match the timestamp '2020-09-22T12:07:09.0000000Z'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#ConvertToUtc for usage details.'.

While probably not the best way to solve the problem, I did find a workaround:
formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['Created'],'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ')

Hi @kriggo15 ,

An option would be to apply this solution from another post I've found here - which uses the "Convert time zone Action"
