Zoho Flow creating Zoho CRM entry and data type problem

Zoho Flow creating Zoho CRM entry and data type problem

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect Calendly with Zoho CRM.  From a logic perspective, I'd like the following to happen.

Client schedules a call in Calendly
Call is added to Zoho CRM record
A Task is created with a due date 14 days after the scheduled date of the call

The call is added just fine - no issues there.

When I try and create the follow up task, I'm running into issues, specifically with the due date and data types.  No matter what I try, I get a data type error on the CRM side.  CRM is receiving a string, not a date.

The way I'm trying to do this is I created a custom function to take the schedule date and add 14 days to it and use the new date as the due date for the new task.  Here's the custom function - it outputs the correct value but CRM rejects it as a string.

  2. date Calculate_Followup_Date(date start_date)
  3. {
  4. followup_date = start_date.addDay(14);
  5. followup_date = followup_date.toDate();
  6. return followup_date;
  7. }

I have read and reread the documentation but don't see what I'm doing wrong.  Am I missing something?  Seems like this should work but I can't seem to get anything out of any custom function other than a string.
