Filter items with query on today error

Trying to get this flow up and running.

I need it to return the items where 'creation date' equals today.

This is my setup.

Sharepoint list with creation date (UTC +1)

My filter query is this

When testing it, I get this error (means: expression not valid...)

made a query between today and today +1 with the ge and lt

seems to do the trick.

Hi @maximvanneste,

 

The Created of a SharePoint list item is returned as ‘yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ’, so in the filter query function, you should format the utcnow likes below:

utcnow('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

 

In the Filter query field, please surround the function with a single quote.

 

Please check the following screenshot:

Please have a try with it on your side and feel free reply if you need more help.

Thank you for your answer, the flow seems to work without returnin an error, however when I add a new item it says that the body value is [].
I need it to return all the items from today, could it be that the language plays a roll in the filterquery?

Hi @maximvanneste,

 

Created is a default column in SharePoint list, so I am afraid that it is not possible to format it in a Odata filter function.

 

If you want to return all the items on today, please add a custom Date and time (Date only) column in the list, then format the utcnow as “yyyy-MM-dd”.

 

The function could be configured as following:

CustomCreatedDate eq ‘utcnow(‘yyyy-MM-dd’)’

 

Please have a try with it on your side.

Hi @v-yamao-msft

 

 

I created a custom column named 'Datum' and went ahead and changed the flow to this:

Knipsel.PNG

When running it I see that the column 'Datum' is '2018-07-17' which is identical to what it should be, still gives me an error?

I feel stupid for not finding this error as I'm prety sure this is easy.

I have this same issue. I've spent hours trying all sorts of methods and I can't get it to work. Either it tells me there is no value (which, there is, because I have a fake one with today's date) or it says the flow ran with no issues, but I don't have an email.

 

I have a list of items and I want to send an email whenever the "sendreminder" field equals TODAY. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
