    Hi @vandam2

     

    You can create a flow that starts every morning at a fixed time.
    Create a condition to determine whether the date column is equal to today's date and send a reminder email if it exists.

    Hello Levi, if my date is 'Start Date' column, what should i use for the formula,

     

    formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['Start Date'], 'yyyy-MM-dd')
     
    i tried this but get error 
     
    i get this error when i run the test 
    InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition_2' at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'formatDateTime' expects its first parameter to be of type string. The provided value is of type 'Null'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#formatdatetime for usage details.'.

    Couldn't get the the formatdatetime to work but the substring did work 

     

    substring(item()?['StartDate'],0,10)
