Salesforce Create Record Scenario :"Function 'formatDate' finished with error! 'September 20, 2021 12:00 am' is not a valid date."

[Eric_Messihi]

I’m attempting to Create Records in Salesforce from an online XML file. I’ve created the necessary records and fields and mapped the majority of fields. I’m struggling to map the date/time to the matching Date/Time field I have created in my SF Sandbox.
As of now, I’ve run an instance with a “Get Record” Salesforce Module that gave me the Date/Time formatting that Make Recognizes (MMMM D, Y h:mm A) added a “Parse Date” Tool to reformat the Date/Time to match. I’m still getting the same error.

I want to try and keep constant testing to a minimum as the number or records created is high and eating at our allotted Operations. Does anyone have any solutions?

Hi Eric,

the usually this error is because the module is expecting the date in a different format than what you are sending. After you parse the date add the formatDate formula to change the format to the expected one.
