Date Conversion - There is no implementation that accepts a parameter of type String Collection

[Christopher_Andre]

Hello.

In a bot flow, I'm using a data action where I retrieve a Renewal Date in the format MM/DD/YYYY which I need to use to determine if an alert needs to be played to the caller.
When I try to convert the date that i'm receiving using an Update Data Action, I'm getting this error

'Month' at position 17 : There is no implementation that accepts a parameter of type String Collection. How should i approach this otherwise?

Flow.RenewalDate must be a string collection variable. I'm guessing you split the string "MM/DD/YYYY" on slashes; if so Flow.RenewalDate[0] would get the 1st element out of the collection.

Hi Melissa,

Yes, you are correct. The Flow.RenewalDate is a string collection.

Here is the approach that I took.

I used an update Data action to make it into a string

And then convert that string similarly to what you mentioned

Now, when I try to find the difference between the date that I have and today's date, I tried using the following

but I'm getting a different error - There is no implementation that accepts parameters of Strung, DateTime and DateTime.

DateTimeDiff only takes 2 datetime parameters. See Access Architect expression help - Genesys Cloud Resource Center on how to open expression help to see the documentation for an expression
