Creating task from Form submission ("The request is invalid:\r\nCannot convert the literal '2020-06-17T14:28:33' to the expected type 'Edm.DateTimeOffset'.",)

[MattMannion]

HI All, 

I am trying to create a task from a form submission but cannot seem to get the date format to work correctly. 

I have tried using the form submission time as the start date but was repeatedly getting errors, So have now started using UTCnow() instead but even then I cannot get the flow to accept the date format. 

addDays(body('Convert_time_zone'), 2)

{

  "error": {

    "code": "",

    "message": "The request is invalid:\r\nCannot convert the literal '2020-06-17T14:42:17' to the expected type 'Edm.DateTimeOffset'.",

    "innerError": {

      "date": "2020-06-17T13:42:17",

      "request-id": "3ec31747-bbf1-4123-b13c-cbdec8bc10de"

    }

  }

}

Apologies in advance, I know I am going to be bashing my head on the desk when someone advises what I have done wrong. 

Kind regards 

Matt

HI all, 

Realised I was using the UTCnow() fucntion wrong, but also found a much simpler solution for what I need.
