Hi, I want to ask if it is possible to make something like notification to remind user something like that you have only 7 days to trip..5 days etc. So something like notification based on date.

Have a nice day.

You could create a Flow to run against the data source that will send out notifications based on a date or old something is getting.

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to send an reminder notification to a user based on date within PowerApps?

If you want to send an reminder notification to a user based on date within PowerApps, I afraid that there is no direct way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

I agree with @Jeff_Thorpe's thought almost, you could consider take a try to create a flow (Microsoft Flow) to achieve your needs.

I assume that the Due Date of your trip is 08/03/2018, and you want to send an reminder notification to you every day. I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Within Condition box, click "Edit in advanced mode", type the following formula:

@lessOrEquals(formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'MM/dd/yyyy'), formatDateTime('2018-08-03T00:00:00Z', 'MM/dd/yyyy'))

More details about sending an email reminder using Microsoft Flow, please check the following video:

Hi @v-xida-msft,
Thank you for your reply. My idea is to send notification to employee before his trip. So I will try to explain.
I have something like this. It is something like survey which employee need to fill before trip. And I want to send email notification to employee based on date which he filled when he goes to trip. Email which will remind him for example: that he has just 5 days before trip ..3 days etc. Some trigger or something which knows that concrete employee has 5 days to trip so it will send him email.

I hope I explained it little bit better.

Hello All, I'm trying to create a flow that does something similar to this except my data is in the data verse, and not in SharePoint. Is there anyway you may have a method of doing basically the same thing but with the data verse?
