Scheduled Flow

Posted on by julian1994acuna 53

Hello,

 

I have several flows already but I need to run each of them on a specific day per month. Although sometimes there could be a delay in the scheduled flow (ex: due to delayed report submission). So this is how I imagine how would work but I not sure how.

 

1. Schedule the flow to run on a certain date 

2. If the flow failed, send an email and reschedule the flow on the next day. 

3. Repeat step 2 until the flow runs successfully. 

4. Send an email to notify the successful run.

 

Is this possible or any workaround similar to this? Thank you so much in advance.

    Hope You are doing well!!. 
    There are multiple ways to achieve this:

    I am suggesting which is more sense to me.

    You can follow the below steps:

    1. Create a schedule flow like below where it will run every 19th date of each month (Schedule the flow to run on a certain date ) and assume it will call your desktop flow.

    2. If the flow failed, then write retry date in some tables like dataverse or any other database as per your convenient in the above desktop or cloud flow.

    S.NoRetry DateStatus
    119-02-2024

     

    Yet to start

     

    3. Create another flow similar to the one described below. This new flow will run daily to monitor the specified table (Create a daily flow to retrieve data from the Dataverse table for retry). If any new entry with the status "Yet to start" and the current date is found, it will trigger your actual desktop or cloud flow. If the flow fails again, another entry will be made for the next date with the status "Yet to start", ensuring that the process continues until it succeeds.

    so the day flow will run till it gets succeed.

    Thanks,
