Sending an email at a specific time

Posted on by NebulaRoss 21

Hiya Flow Friends!
I am need of some assistance with sending an email based off a time selected within a MS Form.

 

For example, In my form I have 3 questions. Email Address, Level (1 and 2) and Date. The flow sends an email to the email address provided with a specific PDF attached based on which level they pick. Now im needing this email to send on the date the responder selects and this is the part im struggling with.

 

I have tried to apply a 'Delay Until' Step with the Question Result being added to the TimeStamp, However this hasnt worked. Would anyone be able to tell me where im going wrong?

    The problem with the delay until is that a flow instance can only run for 30 days before it times out.  The best way to do what you are describing is to setup a recurrence flow to run periodically. For example every day at noon.  Then have that flow check the due dates in the list and send the email if the due date is in the last 24 hours.
