Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi Team,

I have one Due Date Field in share point , based on Due date i have to send emails for 4 weeks before, 1 week before , on due date day and after 1 week .for that i have used delay until and designed.

The problem here is if user come and change Due date again it has to take new Due date and send emails instead of old one.

Ex: If Due Date is Feb 6th 2020 then 4 weeks before mail it should go on 8th Jan 2020 but today user came and changed Due date to Feb 8th2020 , Flow already it's in pause how it will take new due date and send email now?

in Sp Designer workflow we have option like Go to previous stage but in MS flows i am not getting any solution

Please suggest something to proceed!!!

Thanks in Advance

You won't be able to do this with delay until. But with a recurrence trigger set to fire every day you can use parallel branching to compare whether the date is 28 days, ahead, 7 days ahead, is today or is 7 days after. So even if a user changes the due date it will still do the comparison the next time the flow runs.

These example images use the reminder 7 days ahead branch of the flow. For the other branches just change the Compose expressions to the number of days before or after as necessary.

@RobElliott Thanks for the solution. But in my organisation they are not allowing schedulers because of security.
Flows we have to trigger either through powerapps button or SPFX based on application.

Can you please give some alternate solution where i can trigger flow on item creation from powerapps button.

thanks in advance!
