Hi,

I just wanted to formulate the below process flow into a do until loop . Is it possible by putting in a delay function along with the loop ? I want to send out email notification after every 1, 2 and 7 days.

Hi @Prathameshpatka,

It is possible to set the dynamic delay time.

You could store these numbers of delay days into an array variable, then initialize an integer variable named Index and default value is 0.

Then create a Do until, set it stop condition to visit Complete is not equals to blank or set visit complete equals yes or something you set. To make the delay time dynamical, the Count field should be the expression:

variables('DelayDays')[variables('Index')]

After one delay over, increase the Index 1 to for the next delay time.

One point we need to do is set the Timeout of Do until action greater than 10 days, I set it to 12 days: P12D.

ISO 8601 duration format

Thanks for you reply.

Basically the 'Site visit Complete' holds a value yes or no. So in my case I want to compare the date in 'Date of site visit' with the current date and then after every 1,2 and 7 days need to send a reminder. Is that possible as the array and delay loop suggested by you ?

Hi @Prathameshpatka,

Yes, it is possible, if the trigger condition is each visit, the do until will keep running.

Hi,

I did this on the do until flow where in the condition says that till the date site visit
formatDateTime(outputs('Date_of_visit'), 'yyyy-MM-dd') is less than or equal to
formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(), -7), 'yyyy-MM-dd') that is till 7 days then for each 1, 2 and 7 days an email should be triggered.

The array delay days was saved in the variable in the delay count field as
variables('DelayDays')[variables('Index')]

Should this flow work fine ?

Hi @Prathameshpatka,

Yes, it could work, but 'Date_of_visit' action should be in Do until.

Hi @Prathameshpatka,

The Get item action should also add to the DO until action.
