    Hi @Anonymous :

    Could you tell me:

    • Does the person column allow multiple selections?I assume it do not allow multiple selections.
    • What does 'in 50/40day' mean?Do you need to send mail within 50/40 days after the item is created?

    If so,I've made a test for your reference:

    For the convenience of testing, I assume that the email will be sent on the 30th day after the item is created.

    2\My flow

    • Trigger the flow everyday
    • List all items form the SP list
    • Filter out items created 30 days before the current date
    • Iterate through these items, find the user's email and his manager
    • Send email

    Expression Reference:

    formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),-30),'yyyy-MM-dd')

    2\

    formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),-30),'yyyy-MM-dd')

    Hi @Anonymous :

    You can find a parameter in Dynamic content whose name is composed of "filedname" and "Email". Because the name of my person colum is "PersonColumn", the parameter in Dynamic content is named "PersonColumn Email".

    Note:The person column do not allow multiple selelctions

    Best Regards,
