Posted on by WorkingRicardo 818

I have a send a reminder step to my approval flow that runs daily. With the info stated in this post Solved: Delay until next working day - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) I know the behaviour I want to trigger is possible but dunno how to do it in my flow.

I want the reminder to only be sent Monday through Friday, so no Sat/Sun.

The flow looks like this, and below that is the action to send email.  So I have set to repeat only for 5 days.

    Dear R,

    Are you familiar with the function 'dayOfWeek()'? With this you should be able to check if the outcome of your delay is a saturday/sunday and then add 1 or 2 more days for the reminder to be send.

    Hope this helps, if so, please like or set as solution,

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
