    Hi

    You mean you cannot use Recurrence template or you cannot use REcurrence trigger?

    With such trigger you can implement whatever flow logic, no need to reuse the template

    Hope this helps

    @mani the only solution I can think of is that you add a button to each item of your SharePoint list and you manually start the flow for any items that have passed the due date.
    So in your list you would have a single line of text column which you format using JSON code:

    {
     "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
     "elmType": "button",
     "txtContent": "Complete form",
     "customRowAction": {
     "action": "executeFlow",
     "actionParams": "{\"id\": \"52b76de4-f775-456c-87ad-61c46714990a\"}"
     }
    }

    You would change the txtContent line to the button text that you want. You also change ID of your flow from my Id to yours (from the browser address bar):

    0-formatColumn.png

     

    1-forSelectedItem-ID.png

    Your flow has a SharePoint trigger "For a selected item".

    I will look at the syntax to only show the button if today's date is later than the due date. But for the moment that will get you going and is the only solution I can see if a recurrence trigger can't be used.

    Hi

    Does your organization allow you 'When an HTTP request is received' trigger and 'HTTP' action block?

    THere is an old technique to implement long running flows (longer than the default expiration of a flow, I mean) by nesting several flows via HTTP.

    https://www.techmikael.com/2018/01/how-to-architect-long-running-flows.html

    So I was thinking on a Flow triggered by means of an HTTP GET action, with a Do Until lasting for 28 days, this loop would include a Delay until, so it would take care of the reporting th first two weeks. Once completed, it should trigger a second flow instance and terminate. Please note I haven't tested if a flow instance can trigger another instance of the same flow.

    Hope this helps
