Create Wunderlist task with due date from new SharePoint-Item

Posted on 21 Feb 2017 21:42:23 by 23

Sorry, I searched a lot here, but don't find a solution that help me with my problem.

 

I created a flow which creates a new Wunderlist-task, when I create a new SharePoint-Item (SharePoint-Online).

 

In SharePoint i set a date-field: "09.02.2017" (German format for 9th Feb. 2017) 

The created due date in the Wunderlist-task will be in english-format: 09/02/2017 (2nd. Sept. 2017)

 

I tried to change the date-format in Wunderlist (what is not the goal) - same problem.

I tried  a new composer-step: @formatDateTime('SharePoint-Fieldname', 'dd.mm.yyyy')  --> no due-date in Wunderlist.

 

I have no more ideas - can somebody help me?

    I can't believe this - of course I tried this first.

    But it's working in the described way.

     

    Prob. I made a mistake in the calculated field in SharePoint or the reason was that I tried this in the "old preview environment" - Today I tried your solution in the new productive environment: And it Works!

     

    Thanks for your help: @v-yamao-msft

    Hi Skoester,

     

    Do you want to create a task in Wunderlist and the due date of which is formatted as ‘dd.mm.yyyy’?

     

    I created a similar flow according to your description, without using a compose function, I found that the due date of the task created in Wunderlist is formatted as “dd.mm.yyyy”.
    My flow configuration looks like below:

    When a new item is created in my SharePoint list, a task would be created with due date.

    Please try to change the Date Format of your Wunderlist to see if it works.

    Please feel free correct me if I misunderstand you.

     

    Best regards,

    Wunderlist outputs this format '2017-02-23'

    This is a calculated column.
    What format should I choose in SharePoint ? And which format expects Wunderlist?

    You should use a calculated column from SharePoint to change the format.
