Looking to post in MS teams via PowerAutomate and Excel with Dynamic Content

Hello - I am attempting to set up an Excel file which is stored on SharePoint to generate/post a message on an MS Team's channel. I have setup a list with a column POSTING DATE, and then I have Power Automate validating that the POSTING DATE = TODAY, if yes I want it to post a message if not I want it to stop. Below are some insights I have, my current hurdle is with UTC conversion to the current date format.

I am using the below command to format the Date/time of UTC to "yyyy/mm/dd" and then the header raw data returns as following, which looks like it's not converting AUG to 8 instead it's picking up the 45 from the timestamp.   Expression in the Key Value field:  formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'YYYY/mm/dd')

 
snapshot of raw data:
     "Date""Mon, 23 Aug 2021 20:45:30 GMT",
        "Content-Length""445",
        "Content-Type""application/json",
        "Expires""-1"
    },
    "body": {
        "status"404,
        "message""No row was found with Id '2021/45/23'
        "error": {
            "message""No row was found with Id '2021/45/23'."
 
Any guidance/recommendations to troubleshoot would be awesome! I appreciate it!
