Business Events formats Dates in the Microsoft JSON format, e.g. "EventTime": "/Date(1560839609000)/" I wish it was in ISO8601 standard e.g. "2019-06-18T05:40Z". Below is what I did using Flow.

Function: addseconds('1970-1-1', Div(1560839609000,1000) , 'yyyy-MM-dd') Output: 2019-06-18 To format into datetime. Function: addseconds('1970-1-1', Div(1560839609000,1000) , 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss') Output: 2019-06-18 06:33:29 Using an online converter I am able to validate my output. https://www.epochconverter.com/ After that, you can use the Date Time string to or formatDateTime function. For the developers out there. Newtonsoft is great for working with dates and supp...

A bit of googling and trial and error. I found this XSLT code that transformed XML to JSON. https://gist.github.com/bojanbjelic/1632534 Here is the authors blog post to give credit. https://www.bjelic.net/2012/08/01/coding/convert-xml-to-json-using-xslt/#code Setup Under the Data management workspace, open the Source data format form. Create new record called JSON and set the default extension to json. File format = XML XML Style = Attribute Root element = Document (I left this as default) Create a new Export and select your entity. In the Source data format, select JSON record that was created in the previous step. Now click on the View map icon. In the mapping...
