We have created a flow for holidays that we turn on when one is upcoming. We have run into an issue though as we have made the flow too simplistic I suspect. We have set the trigger to be a day of the week which the holiday happens to fall on and simply turn the flow on the day before, but this is causing the flow to trigger on emails already in the inbox which were there from previous Wednesdays in this case. Is there a variable we can put in here for a specific date, say December 25 2020 instead of 'day'?
Thanks for the assist Espiscornovus. I honestly don't know a whole lot about flows but you lead me in the right direction. I was able to work with a co-worker to change the format of our day variable to include a full date instead of just the day format.
Sincerest thanks.
Hi @Anonymous,
I suspect you already use a formatDateTime function since you have a variable called day?
You could use a different format:
formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'M')
The output of this format is like this:
