Hi,

I want to create a flow where it would send emails to the recipients every 1st, 3rd, and 5th of every month (excluding weekends if possible). How can I achieve this with the Recurrence flow since I'm not able to specify the dates if it would run every month?

Hi @RLSid17 ,

Please try:

@and( or(or(equals(dayOfMonth(utcNow()),1),equals(dayOfMonth(utcNow()),3)),equals(dayOfMonth(utcNow()),5)), not(or(equals(dayOfWeek(utcNow()),0),equals(dayOfWeek(utcNow()),6))) )

Best Regards,
Bof

Hi @RLSid17

You can make a schedule flow that runs on daily basis & within flow you can check the dates and day and accordingly perform the specific actions. I have designed a schedule flow as per your requirements:
1. Schedule the flow to run daily:

2. Next, add the conditions to check the date and day (for weekends):
here, we are checking if the current date(today) is 1, 3 or 5 and also checking if day is between 0-6. The number 0 & 6 are being used for Sunday & Saturday respectively.

3. You can perform additional actions in the "Yes" path as per your need.

If it helps, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
Thanks

@v-bofeng-msft and @ManishSolanki

Thank you both for your solutions! I tried it and it works (today). I won't know until the flow runs on the 1st, 3rd, or 5th day. This is really helpful and I intend to learn more about trigger functions like this.

Just a question, can I create 3 separate conditions for 1st, 3rd, and 5th day to send emails?

Yes, you can. Infact, you can further check the date or day within "Yes" path which again opens gate for "Yes" and "No" flow. I mean you can add condition within condition to perform actions based on specific date or day.

Thanks
