Delay Until Help - Add Days to 'Date Sent' Column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TomAshcroft 16

Hi,

 

I'm looking to delay an email notification for 7 & 28 days, which will be used for follow up emails.

 

I had this working using:-

addDays(triggerBody()?['Created'],7)

 

But this just delays the email for 7 days after the item has been created in the list, I'd like it to email by adding 7 or 28 days to the 'Date Sent' column.

 

I.e.

JobNo      :  001 

Date Sent :  01/01/2020

 

Flow:

Follow up email: 08/01/2020

 

Would anyone be able to assist with this? I'm not sure but I may have possibly posted this in the incorrect forum

    Hi @TomAshcroft 

     

    In that case, you need to change the trigger condition to point to the Date Sent column instead of the created one. Something like: 

    addDays(triggerBody()?['Date Sent'],7)

     

    Hope this Helps!
