Approval Flow - IS THIS POSSIBLE

(0) ShareShare

Prior to spending hours attempting to create the flow, is this at all possible:

 

I want to create a flow that will do the following:

On a date specified in a 'Date' column named 'Review Due Date' within a document library, 14 days before the 'Review Due Date', the document is put to 'pending', an email sent to an individual requesting them to review and approve based on a 'Person' column, and then update the Review Date Column to a year after the review took place.

 

Is this at all possible or am I trying to do the impossible. Please bear in mind I am a novice in Power Automate.

    Yes, you can do that with a Scheduled type flow. It would be something like this.

     

    • Trigger - Schedule Daily
    • Get Items - filter ReviewDueDate eq addDays(utcNow(),-14)
    • Update Item - to Pending
    • Start and Wait for Approval - send email approval to person column
    • (After the Approval is completed)
    • Update Item - ReviewDueDate column with addDays(utcNow(),365)

     

    This is a skeleton outline (and the Get Items filter might need to be tweaked), but this is the basic structure of what needs to happen.
