How do you get active flow to use updates after the item that triggered the flow is modified?

I have an active flow that runs after being triggered by the amount of days an item is to stay on hold. Recently, I added a new feature to the power app where you can edit your entry. Is there a way to get an existing flow to look at modifications and start using that concept after the flow is already in running status? For example, if at first the item is put on a four day hold after one day they decide to change it to three days. In the flow process that is already set up there is a delay on an email being sent out until the holding process is up. If the item was already on a four day hold is there any way to change it to another flow if the days are edited?

    Hi @tchamb2 

     

    Well its not possible to update the value when running the flow, Another idea i could think of is to re-design the flow is to trigger when the column value by adding 4 days to it becomes today or even extension of same flow design using a recurrence flow type.

     

    Will let you know soon.
