Delay until loop

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 98

Hi I have a part in my flow that I want to loop, but I only want it to check the information in Get a Task once a Day. Will adding this Delay in before get a task make sure that the loop only runs once a day?

    Hi,

     

    Ideally the Delay work as expected. I have used it with minutes and it worked as expected. So i see no issue with your flow if you want wait one day. if it is a Scheduled flow and runs daily then each a day the flow waits for 1 day and runs on next day from the above step onwards.

     

    Thanks.

    To clarify the loop (Do Until) will run once a day until the condition is met? I don't want the loop to wait one day then run continuously every second until the condition is met. 

    What I am asking is my flow starts a task is created then my Do until waits one day and checks if the task is marked complete. If not complete then the loop waits another day before the Get A Task action triggers again to check for the completion.

    Hi ,

     

    Oh sorry. The do-while loop waits one day before checking the condition again. Please check the "Change limits" option to make sure the same.

    The loop can't timeout in 24 hours b/c then it will just move to the next step. I have the loop set to run for the max amount of time, but I only want the loop to trigger once a day.
