Ask: An error "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime" for the exercise "Create and run a simple flow".

Solution: That error usually occurs when the date format doesn’t align with the expected format, the locale settings differ, or the date string has null, empty, or invalid characters.

We were able to successfully complete the exercise: If I missed anything please let me know and I'd be happy to add it to my answer, or feel free to comment below with any additional information.

If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
