Fixed – Unable to process template language expressions for trigger. In the template language function ‘convertToUtc’, the value provided for the time zone id ‘Gulf Standard Time’ was not valid while using Delay Until property– Power Automate

Recently while using Delay until property of the trigger, in one of the flows, we got the below error

“Unable to process template language expressions for trigger ‘When_a_row_is_added,_modified_or_deleted’ at line ‘1’ and column ‘16344’: ‘In the template language function ‘convertToUtc’, the value provided for the time zone id ‘Gulf Standard Time’ was not valid. ‘.”

Usage of Delay until is nicely explained here by Debajit –

Delay until = convertToUtc(‘2022-05-16T17:22:00′,’Gulf Standard Time’)

It turns out that Gulf Standard Time is not a valid time zone id.

Changing it to Arabian Standard Time resolved the issue for us.

i.e.

convertToUtc(‘2022-05-16T19:22:00′,’Arabian Standard Time’)
