Formatting date only

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have an expiry dat that returns as 2021-01-25T08:00:00Z and I want to compose an email stating what is the expiry date in this format: 25 Jan 2021. I tried using 

formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['Expiry Date'],'dd/MM/yyyy')

but it doesn't work. it gives me this error 

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Send_an_email_notification_(V3)' inputs at line '1' and column '14342': 'The template language function 'formatDateTime' expects its first parameter to be of type string. The provided value is of type 'Null'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#formatdatetime for usage details.'.

Please help me. Thank you in advance

Hello @ViditGholam !

I think I solved it. 

It works if I put the 1 as string 😄

Hello ViditGholam, 

I'm having a similar problem. My flow keeps failing at my condition called "Verify Hire Date is in the past". 

This was working before an now it's not. I'm trying to verify the date of hire and to ensure it doesn't occur in the past so I can send out task assignments to new hires. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong? 

Thank you in advance for your help.
