Add days and check if it's today

[Vale_2290]

Hello guys
I have a big problem and I don't know how to solve it.
I have a date field in a sharepoint list, through flow I need to add 3 days to that date and check if the result matches today.

Date + 3 days = today -> send email

how can I do?

Thank you!

@Vale_2290 there are probably more elegant ways of doing it, but I like the Compose control so have used that a few times as follows. The SharePoint list has a date column:

 For date comparisons we need to make sure the format is in  yyyy-MM-dd format for everything:

The email result has added 3 days to the ReminderSent column and if it matches today has sent the email. I didn't bother to re-format the date back to my date format but you could do that if you needed to.

Hello @Vale_2290

You could use the expression adddays()

Example:
addDays(utcNow(),3, 'yyyy-MM-dd')

Than do a IF statement to check if the the above expression is equal to <SharePoint Date>

If yes:
Send email
If no: do nothing

I did as you said, but I inserted "Reminder" as a trigger, it's the same? Because it works

I need to insert another condition: the email must start only if the "Check" field which is of the chosen type is empty

Hello @Vale_2290 

Recently I faced a similar problem and solved it in the following way:

 

In the Get Items action you could filter the query with the formula: 

ReminderSent eq ''@{addDays(utcNow('yyyy-MM-dd'),3)} and Check eq @{null}

so you onlye get those items whose ReminderSent is 3 days from today and check field is null. After that, we build a table with the selected fields (title and date) and send it by email.

Hope it helps!

Hi @Vale_2290 ,

What type of Check field? If its type is a single line of text, please apply @fchopo ’s recommendations to adapt your Flow.

It should be noted that we need to add a single quote outside the expression.

Like:

If its type is Choice, I am afraid that this filed cannot be configured in Filter Query.

You need to use Condition or Filter array to filter items.

And you need to use Check value as a filter.
