Flow: Send notification when folder age is older than 24hrs

Posted on by CU18051736-0
We use folders in SharePoint for documents that require signature. Most documents need to be signed within 24hrs. There are also permanent archive folders in the same folder as the signature folders. Currently I only see modified date in the folder table. 
 
I would ideally like to send out a notification via teams when a folder's modified date exceeds 24hrs but is within 120hr. 
 
Thanks ahead.

    Unless you are renaming the folder, it is unlikely the folder modified date is going to change from when it was created. Why not create a scheduled flow that runs once per day and get the files in the particular folder where the modified date is greater than the current time minus 24 hours and less than the current time plus 120 hours?
     
    This is an example of the modified dates in a document library I've had for a number of years. You can see the modified date has not changed in years:
