    Hi @theebalkaseem ,

     

    Please take a try with @RobElliott 's solution, also please take a try with expression below in your flow:

    formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),90),'yyyy-MM-dd')

    When I do this on a daily recurrence trigger I don't use a filter query on the SharePoint list but add some Compose controls:
    one for today's date utcNow('yyyy-MM-dd')

    • one that holds the NextReview column from the dynamic content, and
    • one for the reminder date adddays(outputs('Compose_NextReview'),-90,'yyyy-MM-dd')

    I then add a condition that if the output of the today compose control equals the output of the reminder compose control then send the email.

    @theebalkaseem 

    I assume that the expression you are referring to is the filter query in Get items.

    I am also assuming that Renewal is a date/time column that is configure just for the date - not date and time.

    Is Renewal a calculated column?  If so, you can't use it in an OData filter.

    Try the following expression:

    Renewal eq 'addDays(utcNow(),-90,'yyyy-MM-dd')'

     

    If this does not work, please post a screen shot of the error message.
