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?

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

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?

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.
