Teams message when a flow hasn't run by a specific time

Good Morning, i wondered if anyone had any advice on how to create an alert when a PowerAutomate Flow hasn't run by a specific time?

 

We have a manual trigger of a PowerAutomate Flow which is ran every morning due to the data sources - however i want to trigger a alert to the relevant team when this hasn't been run by a specific time, say 9am in the morning. Is this possible?

    i just set a string variable and then after some actions later during the process effect it as needed append the string then later set a delay and then re-evaluate its current string state in a conditional

    It's a bit more involved  Everything to know about Power Automate REST API to manage and administer your flows – Mohamed Ashiq Faleel

     

    Another suggested alternative is to have your original flow write a file at the end of its run.  Your monitoring flow then can check if the file exists or not.

    Hey, thanks for the response - is there a specific action i can pull from the actions list to get the flow history? This was my first thought but i couldn't get a way to get the run history?

    Create another flow that runs at 9 am and examines the flow run history of your first flow.
