Add hours to modified column

[jinivthakkar]

Hi All,

I have a SharePoint list in which different travel request are submitted and if request is not approved in two hours I need to send reminder email but I just can't get the formula to add hours right.

I am getting this value from modified column - 2020-11-17T12:53:23Z and I just need to add two hours and need formula for the same.

I have three level of approvals, if request approved at level 1 then check if level approved at level 2 in the next 4 hours else send reminder email, if request not approved in next 8 hours need to send another reminder email and so.

Hence I need to add 2,4,8 hours to modified column of SharePoint list

Please help

Hello @jinivthakkar ,

there's addHours() expression in Power Automate, you'll use the modified date as the first parameter and the 2nd parameter is how many hours you'd like to add (2 or 4 or 8...)

Hi Tom, 

I am aware of the addHours() function and I also tried using it but it keeps giving me error - Invalid expression

So I need help in building the expression which addes 2,4 etc hours to modified column.

Thanks !

Hello @jinivthakkar,

the expression should have the following format, 

addHours(<ModifiedDate>,2)

addHours(<ModifiedDate>,4)

addHours(<ModifiedDate>,8)

 <ModifiedDate> is the 'Modified' dynamic content.

I did get item, then initalize variable and then in set variable I added this expression :

addHours(outputs('Get_item')?['body/Modified'],+1)
