Do until cannot stop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 102

I would like to create a workflow for a notification e-mail if some job assign to specific staff is overdue. As the overdue time is after 20 minutes of creation. I would like to set a flow that will trigger after 20 minutes a new item is added on a share point list.

This is my setting:

When an item is created(trigger)>schedule delay(for 20 minutes)

What I want to do on the flow is, if the status of the list does not change to Resolved, I will send an email to the assigned staff(after 20 minutes of creation, and check every 10 minutes if still not yet resolved send a second email.

 

First reminder setting:

When an item is created(trigger)>schedule delay(for 20 minutes)>get item>add condition(if status is equal to Resolved), (if no)send an email. And tested ok.

Then I need a notification email every 10 minutes if the case not yet resolve after the first 20 minutes.

My setting is:

add condition(if status is equal to Resolved), (if no)send an email. > get item>Do until>Delay 10 minutes>get item>send an email.

My do until setting is Status is equal to Resolved. And all my get item setting is from the ID.

I can receive all the email but the flow failed to stop even the Status change to Resolved. May I know what is going wrong? When I test the flow, it show all pass but just I found it cannot stop even I change the case status to resolve.

    Hi!

    It looks the problem is with the condition, that is always evaluated as false, right?

     

    condition(if status is equal to Resolved),

     

    In your Sharepoint List, how is this status column defined? As a single line of text? choice?

    Thanx!

    The Status is defined as a choice, I have change it to "Open"  "Closed" and Pending.  The 2 reminder should send when the status is not equal to close.

    @Pinoq 

    If the column is of type Choice, and you are evaluating its value, then on the dynamic content you should select another input (please note in my example I am using a choice column called TypeOfEmail)

    Hope this helps
