Hi,

My flow is.....

When an item or file is modified
Get my profile (V2)
Send email (V2)

If this method is wrong for sending out an email to all file users when the file is altered then I'll happily change it !

At the moment I can't work out how to send out the email once a day at a specific time ?

The old SharePoint alerts was easy to set up but it's took all day to get my email to send out a notification from my outlook mailbox.

The old system just sent out the notification from SharePoint.

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Iain

Using flows

If you want the flow to send out the e-mails at a specific time each day, you need to create a scheduled flow.

Schedule the flow at for the time you want it to run.
Use a get items action with a filter query where the modified date is greater than or equal to (ge) the current time minus 24 hours. See Power Automate Get Items Filter Query Date for more information on this.
Add a condition to check if any items were found using the length() expression on the items returned is greater than 0.
Then use an apply to each on the items found.
In the apply to each add your e-mail action to send the e-mail.

In your post you said it has taken you all day to get a notification. That would seem to indicate a different issue, or you do not understand the trigger you used. Based on your post, it says you are using the When an item or file is modified trigger. In order for the flow to run, the list item or file actually has to be opened, edited and saved again before it will send the e-mail.
