Retrieving Current Date in Flow Designer

[Dan13]

I am trying to retrieve the current date within a flow so I can do a check to see if the current date is on or after a specific date defined by the user during ticket submission. I found a post from a couple years ago that is marked as a correct answer. It describes creating a custom action and gives the script for retrieving the current date. Problem is, I have never created one myself and the action I created is not returning what I need. Here's what I have:

I set up a step in the flow to send an email with the output value to see if it was working and got this:

Seems to imply a blank return on the variable.  Here is the flow I created and the If logic I set up

Here is what the action returns

I'm guessing that I'm missing an input or output but I'm not sure exactly where my issue is. Or maybe I don't even need a custom action and can do this in an easier way?

Hi @Dan

I dont see 'result' as output variable here

Also can you please show me what you have in Get Current Date Action

Thank you

Thanks! I was thinking that was the final output of the action. Added the output variable

And added it to the outputs

Here is what shows on the flow

It got me a bit further. I now actually get an output

Updated the script step to look like this

Output is this

Any thoughts?
