Creating Weekly Notification

Posted on by 232

Hello, I have another flow that I want to create. I want to send a weekly email out that has the number of records with a status of "needs approval" in my Sp list. What type of trigger do I start with and how do I go from there?

    Last thing, it's saying that I have zero when I have 11 in my sp list:

    See the screen shot that I added above.

    You can add a condition - if the output of the Compose action is greater than 0, then send the email.

    I want it to send an email if there are one or more records with a status of "needs approval"

    how do I type the filter function? Here's a screenshot of where I currently am:

    Use a recurrence trigger set to fire daily.

    Then, add a SharePoint get items action with a filter query

    The filer query will make it so that only items with a status of Needs approval will be returned.

    You can then check to see how many records were returned (length() ) and send the email.

    In my example below, Status is the INTERNAL NAME of the status column (may or may not be the same as the display name).
