    @Elio You are inserting a string of text 'Period' into your expression. You need to click on the Dynamic Content tab to insert dynamic content.

    You might find my tutorial helpful: Send Emails Based on a 📆 Date Column in SharePoint with Microsoft Power Automate

    In this Microsoft Power Automate tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a flow that will send a Happy Birthday email to a user based on a date column in a SharePoint list. The SharePoint list also contains a column with a Manager’s name which we’ll use to send a three-day and day of reminder to the user’s manager.

     

    This automation will use the Filter Array action to filter out all SharePoint list items where the user’s birthday is today or in three days. This flow can apply to a variety of scenarios such as:

    📅 Student Birthdays

    📅 Project Due Dates

    📅 Contract/Membership Renewals

    📅 License Expirations

    📅 Client Anniversaries

    @Elio If you could pls switch to the Classic Designer, click on each action in your flow to expand and upload a screenshot (while you're in edit mode) it would provide more insight on your current flow logic. It's really had to provide recommendations with the screenshots you've provided so far.
