Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I am somewhat new to Flow and have gotten some of the basics down. I am trying to use my Iphone to intiate a task that I do often from a button in Flow app. I am having trouble learning how to set a due date and reminder for some future date and time by default. Example, I am working in field and I get a call about a quotation from customer and I would like to go to IOS app and create task from preset button and have a reminder automatically be placed on the task for a future reminder. I hope this makes enough sense for someone to help me.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi @daniellouque,

Which task do you want to create within your flow?

Do you want to set a due date within a Flow button manually?

I assume that you want the reminder to be token 2 days before the due date of the task, I have made a test on my side with creating an Outlook task within my flow, please take a try with the following workaround:

Add a “Manually trigger a flow” trigger, add two Text fields -- TaskName and Due Date.
Add a “Create a task” action.
Add a “Delay until” action, Timestamp field set to following formula:

formatDateTime(addDays(triggerBody()['text_1'],2),'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z')

Add a “Send an email” action to reminder you of the due date of the task.

Image reference:

When you run the flow, the dialog shows up as below and you need to fill those fields within it:

The flow works successfully as below:

Best regards,

Kris
