Hi All,

I'm new to the power automate and my requirement is to run the flow on every month of 15th to check the attachment is there in the shared mailbox inbox folder and if its there and the flow runs to get the attachment and create the monthly folder. If the attachment is not available on 15th then the flow has to re run by 16th on next day to check the same attachment

Kindly help me

formatdatetime(utcnow(),dd) is equal to 15

formatdatetime(utcnow(),'dd') is equal to 16

Thank you .

As I said, to prevent that you need to add a condition to see if the folder exists and if it does then don't do anything. There is no way to let the run on the 16th know that the email was there on the 15th other than that the action was already taken.

I done the testing as its running both days but it's override the files inside the folder which i don;t want to be overrided.
If the attachment is find on 15th then it will perform the action and move to next steps on flow
on the next day of 16th it won't do anything should terminate it .

No, you can't use multiple triggers. But if you use the when an email arrives trigger it will run when the email arrives. There is no way to then tell it to run on the 15th and 16th.

I used the trigger for when a new email arrives so can we use the multiple triggers .

The flow will run on the 16th no matter what. But if the folder already exists it won't do anything.

First, to get it to run on the 15th and 16th of the month you need a Recurrence Trigger that has a trigger condition that limits it to only running on those days. Here's the trigger condition to add in the settings of the recurrence trigger set for every day.

@Anonymous(equals(dayOfMonth(utcNow()),15),equals(dayOfMonth(utcNow()),16 ))

The flow will now run on the 15th and 16th of the month. If the flow runs check to see if the monthly folder already exists. If it does do nothing. If it doesn't check for the email and proceed normally.

If the flow runs on the 15th finds the email and creates the folder then when it runs on the 16th it will just skip everything.

If the flow runs on the 16th and finds the folder, then it already ran on the 15th and nothing happens. If it doesn't find the folder then it tries to find the email and create the folder like it would have on the 15th.
