Hi

I am trying to add an expiry notification to our document review Flow (yes some or our people take a month to review a document) so I've created a parallel branch (to the approval part of the Flow) that is supposed to send a warning email at 25 days and update my Flow Status list ONCE only.

In the test condition, I have a Days count AND a boolean 'approvalReminderSent' flag which is supposed to be set on the first run of the 'Yes' path, thus preventing further runs of the Yes path.

What actually happens is... on the 25th day, the Flow starts sending hundreds of emails and does none of the other things it's supposed to do. It never runs 'Create Flow Status (timeout warning)' which is an add item to list action, or sets the 'approvalReminderSent' flag.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks, Craig
