I have set up a flow to Send an email Notification When the Expiration date is 90 days away. I also added a notification to check if the Expiration date is today. I know there is several records that expire today (4/1/2025). The date is in a date column without the time showing. I keep getting Action Branching Condition Not Satisfied, when I know there are fields expiring today.

    I keep getting this error ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied.

    I keep getting this error ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied.
    @Trout19 The is equal to operator looks for an exact match. The reason your condition isn't satisfied is most likely due to the fact that SP outputs dates in yyyy-MM-dd format and you are comparing it to a date format that doesn't match.
