Adding a delay

Hi all,

I wanted to check with you all to ensure my syntax was still correct in my approval flow. I have an approval flow that gets all the approvals and then 30 days after the last approval comes through it sends an email to the creator letting them know the item is now 30 days old and must be removed. This is the trigger I am using:

(addDays(utcNow(), 30)

Is this still correct? I think it is failing that is why I ask.

@kmason:

I believe the issue you are experiencing is due to the fact that a Flow can only run for 30 days. After 30 days, the Flow stops and all outstanding approvals are cancelled.

Also, I believe that your expression is invalid - you need to remove the outermost set of parens:

addDays(utcNow(), 30)

If this addresses your issue, please mark your post as Solved.

Hi @kmason,

Could you please share more details about the error message when the flow run failed?

Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

Best regards,

Thanks @ScottShearer I changed my delay to 28 days so hopefully that will fix the 30 day issue. I also typed the syntax wrong I didn't have those extra parens in there. I'm going to mark this as closed and see if this takes care of the problem.

Thank you!
