    You need to use recurrence trigger to send email notifications on a daily basis during a set time frame
     
     
    For calculating the number of days between today and the target date, use the following expression
     
    div(sub(ticks('2020-01-01T07:00:00Z'), ticks(utcNow())), 864000000000)
     
    2025-01-01T07:00:00Z - target date
    utcNow() - function to retrieve today date
     
     
    Post configuring the expression you can use send email action to send the email for the end users.
