Best practive with 'Delay' action

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I need to delay an action after a trigger for 7 days. Alternatively, I can do a daily sweep and query a SQL server to see if a timestamp is within a 7 day window. However, it will be a lot of I/O on the server.

Which one of these options would be best? I'm not crazy about a Flow running for 7 days, but it would be a lot easier to implement than the SQL version.

 

Thanks!
