About convert current time to a timestamp in PAD

Hi All,

 

I am in a use case that requires a timestamp from the date and time of now in Power Automate Desktop. However, I did not find any function like ticks() in cloud flow to convert the datetime in PAD.  I appreciated anyone can shed some light upon it. 

I have the same question (0)

    You can use the Convert date time to text action to convert it to a text string based on custom format, depending on what it is exactly you need. Alternatively, if you have your current date in %CurrentDateTime% you can also get the hour as %CurrentDateTime.Hour% and so on. See here for more properties of the data type date: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/datatype-properties#dates
