Create a folder by date

I have a flow running that attachements from a certain e-maildress are saved in a folder of my OneDrive. 

At this moment I try to tweak the flow that the flow creates a folder by the received at dynamic content

 

But when I use that Dynamic content I get an error:

The problem is that there are some illegal characters in the folder name. The : is giving the trouble

Is it possible to only extract the date? 

I don't see any other easy to filter dynamic content to create a folder with

    We are just starting with flows,

    But we have the same question,

    have you ever found a solution ?

     

    update

    found the answer, posting it for other newbies as me 😉
    use an expression, for example :

     

    utcNow('yyyy-MM-dd')
