You would need to add a date field to your list and populate it with the date you want the flow to trigger (trigger date). You would then create a scheduled flow that runs every day and use a get items action with an OData filter to get the items where the current date equals your trigger date. If items are found, you can process them in an Apply to each action.

No problem. I have a flow that runs every day to send an e-mail based on the Notice Date. This is the filter query I use in the Get items/Get files filter query:

The two expressions used are:

startOfDay(utcNow())

and

addDays(startOfDay(utcNow()),1)

In the above it will get all items where the NoticeDate (be sure to use the internal name of the field) is between midnight tonight (May 10) and before midnight tomorrow (May 11).

And of course you do not need the portion "and Dept ne null" but you can add other criteria as needed. For me, the notification goes to the Dept specified, so if it is blank, I don't need to send a notification.
