Help creating future daily email reminders when a planner task is assigned (with so complications....!)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 17

Hello! 

 

Simply put - I would like to create a flow to send daily email reminders based on a task being assigned in planner (*there are complications...*)

 

Background info - We have a daily check that needs to be done for 3 separate areas organised into 3 buckets as shown in the image below. Each task is setup as a week-long daily checklist and will be assigned to an individual. I have a flow setup to create the tasks in bulk for a four week period, where a manager will come in and assign the tasks for the coming four weeks.

 

I would like to create a daily email that goes to the assigned person each morning at 8am, to remind them to complete the check.

The complication is that the tasks are created in bulk, for the following four weeks. Currently, my daily reminders ping off based on a task being assigned which is a good start, but there are tasks that will be assigned on a given day that will need to be completed at a later date (e.g. A task is assigned on Monday 1st, but needs to be completed during the week beginning Monday 7th, or 14th, or 21st).

 

I would really appreciate some help if anyone has any ideas! Could I create the flow to send email reminders based on the start date of the task? And to then send daily reminders at 8am for the following 4 days of the week? 

 

I understand this is complicated!! But thanks in advance for any help with this!!!

    I fixed this really simply by reworking my thinking - rather than the email trigger being done off of the task assignment, it's just a scan of the plan that checks to see if there is a task due on a given week, and if there is an email will be sent to remind the user it is assigned to. 

     

    If anyone wants more info please let me know.
