Azure Logic App HTTP Action step - dynamically get endOfDate date - azure

Question

i have an azure logic app with recurrence that will call api endpoint every midnight, im passing in two date properties in my request body that will include start of day and end of day.
Logic app has expression startOfDay() however they dont have endOfDay(), how can I dynamically get end of day in UTC format like startOfDay() does?
Thanks
this is how my request body looks like but its also complaining about #startOfDay()
{
"organizationId": 'f41186b0-7f09-42c5-8a9d-81a2ad2b0e61',
"attemptedDeliveries": true,
"cancelDateStart": #{startOfDay()},
"cancelDateEnd": ""
}

Answer 1

There is no direct expression for endOfDay but one of the workarounds is to addToTime and 'subtractFromTime' from startOfDay to get the endOfDay. Consider I'm taking the timestamp to be UtcNow() and to calculate the endOfDay I'm using the below expression.
subtractFromTime(addToTime(outputs('startOfDay'),1,'Day','o'),1,'Second','yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
I'm using Parse Json in order to retrieve the inner Json details for future use. By doing this, you can have a custom JSON created using Compose() connector.
Result:-
Codeview
{
"definition": {
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",
"actions": {
"Compose": {
"inputs": {
"attemptedDeliveries": "#body('Parse_JSON')?['attemptedDeliveries']",
"cancelDateEnd": "#{outputs('endOfDay')}",
"cancelDateStart": "#{outputs('startOfDay')}",
"organizationId": "#{body('Parse_JSON')?['organizationId']}"
},
"runAfter": {
"endOfDay": [
"Succeeded"
]
},
"type": "Compose"
},
"Parse_JSON": {
"inputs": {
"content": "#triggerBody()",

"cancelDateEnd": {
"type": "string"
},
"cancelDateStart": {

"organizationId": {

},

},

},
"endOfDay": {
"inputs": "#subtractFromTime(addToTime(startOfDay(utcNow()),1,'Day','o'),1,'Second','yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')",
"runAfter": {
"startOfDay": [
"Succeeded"
]
},
"type": "Compose"
},
"startOfDay": {
"inputs": "#startOfDay(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')",
"runAfter": {
"Parse_JSON": [

},
"type": "Compose"
}
},
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"outputs": {},
"parameters": {},
"triggers": {
"manual": {
"inputs": {
"schema": {}
},
"kind": "Http",
"type": "Request"
}
}
},
"parameters": {}
}
Here is the json that I'm receiving from my body of Http trigger
{
"organizationId": "f41186b0-7f09-42c5-8a9d-81a2ad2b0e61",
"attemptedDeliveries": true,
"cancelDateStart": "",
"cancelDateEnd": ""
}

After the follow up here my logic app
Result:
Codeview
{
"definition": {
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",
"actions": {
"endOfDay": {
"inputs": "#subtractFromTime(addToTime(startOfDay(utcNow()),1,'Day','o'),1,'Second','yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')",
"runAfter": {
"startOfDay": [
"Succeeded"
]
},
"type": "Compose"
},
"startOfDay": {
"inputs": "#startOfDay(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')",
"runAfter": {},
"type": "Compose"
}
},
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"outputs": {},
"parameters": {},
"triggers": {
"Recurrence": {
"evaluatedRecurrence": {
"frequency": "Second",
"interval": 30
},
"recurrence": {
"frequency": "Second",
"interval": 30
},
"type": "Recurrence"
}
}
},
"parameters": {}
}
After endOfDay connector you can add 4 parallel HTTP triggers and add logic to it.
