Building a flow for emailing expiry date notifications and selective recipients

Hello everyone,

I am new to the automate world. I am now currently responsible for building an email notification system for contract renewal reminders for my department. The data is stored in a SharePoint List with a field called 'Expiry Date'. I am told to write a flow which is scheduled in the first day of each month and scans ALL the contract due within the 30/60 days period and email all of them to the contact person at the same time.

The second task is about the email recipients, I have to send the emails to both the admin (secretary) and the contact person if the 'contact person email' field has an email address contained, while only send the emails to the admin (secretary) if the 'contact person email' field is empty of does not contain an email address in it.

Is there any way these two tasks could be achieved using Automate?

Many thanks.

Please see this article for how to do this. For your Recurrence trigger, you can choose daily, go to Settings with the ellipsis in the trigger and add a Trigger Condition with the expression below. This will make it trigger only on the first of the month.

Thanks for your reply.
However it seems that the above flow only finds expiry dates on the 30th day in the future only. In my case, I need to build a flow that finds all the expiry dates ranging from 0 to 30 days in the future at once. Is there any chance this can be achieved by flow?

Also can flow achieve the second task I mentioned in the first thread?

Thanks

Hi @hellofriend ,

Do you want to select recipients based on SharePoint list field conditions and send the results emails after the filtered field date?

You could filter the items that meet the date condition based on the operator, and then determine whether the specified field of each item contains the email format, and obtain the mail address by setting the variable. I have test for your reference, please try the following workaround:
