Schedule an Email Notification based on the Date in SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Hello Good Day, 

 

I have a SharePoint list and it has a column named Start: that has a date value, I want to create an scheduled flow (daily) that it will alert once the date is a day before the value of the Start: column. Kindly see my flow below

For the comparison I just get the column Start: and compare it to the date today minus 1.

 

formatDateTime(item()['Start:'],'yyyy-MM-dd') = addDays(utcNow(),-1)

I'm not really sure if my syntax is correct but I'm encountering this error.

Hope you can help me or if there's any better approach for this, thank you in advance!

    This question is better addressed in the Power Automate instead of the Power Automate Desktop forum. 

    Perhaps you need to change ‘‘item()['Start:']’ into ‘item()?['Start:']’
