Delay action

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3

Hi Power Automate Community,

 

I am looking to build an expression for a Delay Until action to dynamically delay until the next occurrence of a Monday (specific day of the week) at 8:00 AM. 

 

Scenario: A condition becomes satisfied then the Delay Until action is triggered. This Delay Until action will use an expression to delay until the next occurrence of a Monday at 8:00 AM. Then once the delay until action completes (reaches Monday at 8:00AM)  an email will be sent on Monday at 8:00 AM. 

 

Reason: If a condition is satisfied at 6:00 PM on a Friday then I want the Delay Until to dynamically understand that the flow needs to wait until the next occurrence of a Monday at 8:00 AM.

 

The expression will need to be able to select the next occurrence of the specific day of the week (Monday) at the specific time of 8:00 AM.

 

Can anybody offer any assistance in creating an expression that can be used to satisfy the scenario listed above with a Delay Until action expression?

 

Thanks.

    I am not sure I completely understand what you want to do, except you want to set up a delay until the next occurring Monday at 0800. Try this:
     
    The expression is int(div(sub(ticks(addHours(startOfDay(addDays(utcNow(), mod(sub(8, dayOfWeek(utcNow())), 7))), 8)), ticks(utcNow())), 600000000))
     
    I am having some weird network issues right now, so I cannot do more testing of the expression, but it calculates the number of minutes between the current date time and the next occurring Monday at 0800. Note, it uses UTC time, so if you need it for a different time zone, you will need to adjust it for that.
