Posted on by EricSara77

Hi team,

I have a flow that I have scheduled to run every two weeks.

Where can I see when it will next run?

For example, for the month of July, it will run each second Tuesday. So based on the below dates, it will run on the red ones

4th

11th

18th

25th

If I go into the flow now, I cannot see where it will tell me that it will next run on the 18th.

Can I get this detail?

Cheers,

@EricSara77
Select your flow and open it in edit mode, click on the Recurrence trigger or the first action in your flow. It will expand to full size and here you will be able to see the details as shared in the below image
In flow you will not be able to see on which dates it will run, instead you will be able to see the days and the configuration for the trigger.
In the above image as you see I have configured my flow to run on Tuesday, Friday every 2 weeks. So my flow will run on Tues, Friday of every 2nd week.

Like wise you can also verify the configuration setup of your flow in the edit mode

@Gopala_Krishna
Thanks for the reply.
I want to make sure I am not missing anything in what you are saying.
In your example, you can see it will run on Tuesday and Friday of each 2nd week. But you still do not know if that will be this Friday 14th July or next. 21 July.
The only way to see this would be to look at the run history and work it out.

Hi,

I am also looking for the schedule, I cannot believe there is not one built in so that we can see when the automations will run?

Hi @dhb,
could you please rephrase? I don't understand why the standard scheduled flow is insufficient?

It would be good to see when it is next going to run. Why would I want to go back into history look at one date then go into the flow and see how it is configured and then do some calculation to see when it runs again. It would make more sense to see all my flows and see when they are going to run next similar to the scheduled power BI reports.

I'd like to say this task is not trivial. I'll try to experiment and let you know the results (if any).

Hi @dhb,

I've created a flow that can generate the following table:
Note that the flow cannot set "NextRun" if the "StartTime" is empty or if the schedule exists:
