Hi,

I have a flow set up that creates a planner task when an email is flagged, however is there a way to automatically set the
1. 'start date' of the task to the email received date
2. set the due date to start date + 3 days as mentioned above?

@milo1234 please find my flow

Format time:

formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/receivedDateTime'],'yyyy-MM-dd') 

Add 3 days:

addDays(outputs('Compose'),3,'yyyy-MM-dd')

Hope this helps.

Thank you jinivthakkar. 

How do I incorporate this into my flow I have already created? Please find attached.

The flow creates a planner task when an email is flagged and allows for special characters to be passed through the subject line of the email.

@milo1234 add a new compose in step 2 before Compose Email Subject and then in Yes Condition/Create task add the start date as output from compose in step 2 and end date as - expression and as I have shown add the expression.
