Comparing Dates in UTC

Genesys Cloud Applications Architect

I'm attempting the following scenario in architect:

An inbound call comes in to the flow, a data action gets that lead from Dynamics CRM and returns "CreatedOn" date - which is in UTC.

If the CreatedOn date returned from Dynamics is equal to today (but not this exact time in UTC, just today's current date), I want to transfer the call to a queue.

If the Created on date returned from Dynamics is not equal to today i.e. yesterday, I want to do something else with the call.

Any suggestions on comparing my "CreatedOn" date from Dynamics with the current day from PureCloud?

Hi Melissa,

Deciding if something was created "today" can be a bit tough when you are dealing with UTC, as daylight savings time can mess that up. If instead if you could check for "Was created in the past x hours" you should be able to do that pretty easily.

Something like a decision node that checks this:
DateTimeDiff(GetCurrentDateTimeUtc, createdon) < MakeDuration(0, x, 0, 0)

If "today" is a hard requirement then additional thought is going to be required :slight_smile:
