Send a mail from a table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 949

Hi,

 

I have a Flow that counts in an excel file on Sharepoint how much mail has been received in the inbox 


Now I would like an email to be sent every day with the number of emails that were received yesterday.
I have tried the following but when I indicate in the flow that he should look at the date of yesterday (07-05-2019) then that is no longer correct with the day of tomorrow.

How should I change that?

    Hi @frixel ,

     

    I speculate that the configuration you have in Key Value should be the current date of the day the Flow runs.

    If you want to use yesterday's date here, you could use addDays() function to get the date of yesterday.

    Like:

    Hope it helps.

    Hi @v-bacao-msft 

     

    This is perfect, but is it also posible te get more then 1 date?

    Like this? 

    addDays(utcNow(),-1,-2,'dd/MM/yyyy')
    Or like this?

    Hi @frixel ,

     

    Please try this expression:

    addDays(utcNow(),-2,'dd/MM/yyyy')

    Hi @v-bacao-msft 

     

    Excuse me for not being clear.

    I mean to send two dates. So yesterday and the day before yesterday.

    Then you need to add additional Get a row action to get the data of the day before yesterday.

     

    Yesterday:

    addDays(utcNow(),-1,'dd/MM/yyyy')

    the day before yesterday:

    addDays(utcNow(),-2,'dd/MM/yyyy')

    Please try again.

    Hi @v-bacao-msft 

     

    Thanks again for your quick response.Smiley Happy


    Is it also possible to update the pivot table (where the table gets its data from) before the data is taken from the table?
    So that I always have the current data in the table?

    Hi @frixel ,

     

    There seems to be no suitable way to accomplish this through MS Flow.Smiley Sad
