I have a flow designed to monitor a Microsoft Form, pull attachments from it and send an email to several people. One of the people is asking if its possible to get a reminder 7 days after the submission was received. I know a quick and dirty way to do this would be to add a 7 day delay, but I've been told that could have issues because of multiple long running flows. Is that actually a problem? If so, is there another way to accomplish this?

Building flows

HI,

1. Create a SharePoint list that is minimal

Fields:

Form Submitter = Responders Email

Date Submitted = utcNow() (just fyi, technically you can just use the Created On field, since it already has the utcDate but for demonstrations adding this column works.

1. Create a flow that is triggered when a Response is Submitted

2. Add a Get Response Details action using the form ID from the trigger dynamic property

3. Add a Create Item (for SharePoint)

for the create item using the Responders Email (dynamic property from the Get Response Details)

And for the Date Submitted just put utcNow()

ok now you have recorded the data

1. Now add another Flow, that is a Scheduled flow that runs every day (whatever time you want)

2. After the trigger add a Get Items sharepoint action

for the filter, you want to check if the Date Submitted is now 7days or more old

Use an Apply to each to loop through the returned items

In there, add your Send Email V2 or V3 or whatever one you want to send a reminder.

Done.
