Calculating a time prior to a due date column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi guys,

I have a column in my share pint list titled Assessment due date. I would like to send an email reminder to the person responsible for the assessment 28 days prior to the due date as a reminder. I am brand new to power automate but am trying my best. Below is what I was trying to do but am unsure how to define the date portion in the condition. I could say something like if the date is equal to 28 days before the due date using the subtract time function maybe but I am not sure how to write this is the code.

    What you're looking for is:

    addToTime(<your due date>, -28, 'day')

    How would I then try to pull my due date in? How do I reference my particular column in this funciton?
