Am I being stupid?
I have a dialog with a prompt + response to capture the date which the end-user wishes to retrieve Activities for. I have tried Response Type as "Date and Time" and "Date Only".
I then want a subsequent "Query CRM Data" step to query ServiceActivities using the captured date as a Variable.
I create the query, where the ScheduledStart ON [today's date]. I then edit the variables, and replace today's date with the stub with the "ResponseText" of the previous step.
When I execute this, it delivers a type conversion error - I have pasted the error log below. It's expecting a date, but it appears that all responses that are captured during the dialog are text. How can I fix this?
I am using online 2011
