Hi,

I have created a flow that sends an email reminder to update status field (to "closed") two weeks after the status field was set to a specific value ("completed").

What happens if the status field is set "closed" before 2 weeks has passed? Will the email still be sent or will it not since the condition no longer is met?

If the answer is that is will be sent - how can I change the flow so that it only sends out the email if the condition still is valid after two weeks (in other words that the status still is "completed" after 2 weeks?) Screenshot of flow attached.

Thanks in advance!

The mail will be sent. But wouldn't it be better to create a flow that runs every day, checking for items with this status and last modified is older than 2 weeks?

If you want to keep your current flow setup you could check the item again after waiting 2 weeks and only send the email when the condition is true again.

That's probably smarter! Could you please show me how such a flow would look like? I understand how to check for this status (with Condition), but not sure how to check for last modified is older than 2 weeks.

Hello @Linn1

Use "List items" with this condition:

Modified lt '@{addDays(utcNow(),-14)}'
