Recurring Trigger at specific days of each month

Posted on by diogoalves

Hi,

I need to create a flow that triggers on a specific day of each month throughout the year. Is it possible? If so, how do I do it?

For example, the flow runs on March 13, April 9, May 12, June 6, etc.

Thanks!

Diogo

When you create a new flow you can pick a scheduled flow and choose a date for it to run on or a starting date and a repeat date. So start on monday and repeat every 2 weeks etc or start on monday at 8am and repeat every hour etc.

I get that, but my problem is, I don't want to run the flow "every 2 weeks". This month, I need it to run on the 16th, next month will be on the 6th and so on. AND it's important that it DOESN'T run any other day.

Ah. This im not 100% sure on. The only thing off the top of my head is you could have a list of dates that you want it to run in SP.
Every day run the flow to grab the list and sort it by date.
Get the top date (closest to current day) and check if it is the same as today
If it is then run the flow and remove that date from the list
If it isnt then the flow ends and does nothing
Repeat each day
Not sure if that will work for your situation or not but im sure it would work in general. I do something similar to this for reminders

Hi @diogoalves ,
Please try to trigger every day, and then set the judgment condition in Trigger condition z: only when today's date meets one of the conditions will it be triggered
@or(equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'01-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'02-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'03-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'04-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'05-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'06-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'07-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'08-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'09-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'10-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'11-16'),
equals(utcNow('MM-dd'),'12-16'))
Here is a link on how to set the trigger for your reference

Thanks Cheng! I implemented it, and it SEEMS to work. I'll confirm next week after a few tests.
