Using Power automate for documents control on sharepoint

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I am having some trouble in creating a flow to best fit documents control.

 

My aim: 

We use SharePoint to store documents which are reviewed on an annual basis. the columns consist of 'Document Status' 'Last review date', 'Next review date', 'Days to review', 'Owner', 'Approver'.

I would like the flow to automatically pick up the number from 'Days to review', so when it reaches 30 and or below to send out an email to the document 'owner' to get them to review this. i have created a flow but this only works when something is modified.

 

The issues i am facing:

  • 'Days to review' column does not update automatically.
  • If a document is not modified then the email is not being sent out

 

If anyone has any recommendations or fixes, it would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Sapar

    You could use a recurrence trigger to run the flow everyday.

    Calculate the Days to review dynamically instead of reading from SharePoint. Use date operations.

    Send email if Days to review < 30
