Hello, I have a flow that sends an email at a button press and after that i want to create a Scheduled flow that runs 40 days after the email is send. Is something like this possible where the date in the scheduled flow is flexible?

Hi @JustusCk ,

As far as I know, Schedule cannot use dynamic content as a trigger, nor can it be inserted into a flow as an action. I recommend that you use the delay action and reference dynamic content.

Best regards,

That is my current method but i read that a flow can only run for 30 days and with the delay alone being longer than that it will stop so i need a diffrent methode.

For flows that have already run, it is valid for 30 days, and for flows that are not triggered, it will run as expected as long as the connection in the flow is still valid.

My suggestion is to divide the total number of days of delay into several parts, for example, you can modify a value in the table with a delay of 10 days in the first flow, the second cloud flow is triggered after 10 days because the value is modified, and then enter the delay action again, and so on until the last cloud flow is triggered after 40 days.
