Trigger Email 1 day after expiry date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AndyYWS 117

hi all, need your help again.

 

I have this flow that trigger an email after expiry date has passed 1 day. e.g., 7th jun is due, email should trigger on 8th jun

however in my current setup, the reminder email is triggered on 07th jun instead of 8th jun

 

I have tried

1. utcNOW() is greater than start date

2. addDays(utcNOW(), 1) is greater than start date

both of them still trigger email and change on 7th jun (which is same as the expired date)

would like to ask for the community advice on how can i resolve this?

    Hi @AndyYWS 

     

    I assume, reminder email will be trigger one time past Start Date. If that is the case, pls modify the date comparison condition:

    Expression used here are:

    addDays(item()?['StartDate'],1,'yyyy-MM-dd')
    formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd')

     

    If this helps & solves the problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    hi @ManishSolanki , thank you for your quick response

     

    i tested it but there is an error message now

    Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition' at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'addDays' expects its first parameter to be a string that contains the time. The provided value is of type 'Null'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#adddays for usage details.'.

    Hi @AndyYWS 

     

    Pls add a null check at the top, it should be the first statement in 'Condition' action:

    Thanks
