Schedule a flow that send email notification on every 2 working days

I am a new user in Power Automate and would need some help in it. I would like to create a flow to send emails to my team every 2 working days. For example, if the flow is started on Tuesday, an email will be sent out on the day. The next email will be sent on Thursday while the following one will be on Monday as Saturday and Sunday are non working days. 

 

Would like to check whether this is possible?

    Hi!

    The easiest approach: REcurrence trigger, send an email every monday-wednesday-friday. Good stuff here

    https://natechamberlain.com/2019/02/19/use-the-flow-recurrence-trigger-to-run-flows-only-on-weekdays/

     

    A much more complex approach is to 'store starting' date in a external repository (Sharepoint list, Excel table CDS,...) , then every working day (I mean every monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday) Recurrence trigger, evaluate nr of working days in between, if even nr of working days send the email, if odd do nothing. A similar approach is to let your flow calculate in advance the next notification date and store it in an external repository

     

    First approach can take a couple of minutes to design and rollout, second approach can take hours or even days to be designed properly and some expertise with Power Automate.

     

    Please let us know your preferrence
