How to fix the recurring reminder flow sending multiple same emails?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by kazh 29

Hello

 

We are currently working on a recurring flow that sends a notification email for SharePoint lists.

 

On our SharePoint lists, we have "Planned answer date" column and Person in charge are supposed to set it. Our flow needs to send a recurring email if the Planned answer date is left blank.

 

With our current flow, it does send a reminder email to PIC but it sends the same email 8 times (the same number as the items on the list) even if there is only one item without the Planned answer date set.

Content of the filter array: @equals(empty(item()?['PlannedAnswerDate']), true)

 

Is there anything that's causing this problem?

 

Thank you for your kind support in advance.

    Hi @kazh ,

    Please move the actions in the red box out of 'Apply to each' and delete the 'Apply to each'.

    If this solution not work, please show me the expression of 'empty()'.
