Get Items Filter Query - Last Modified over 2 Hours from Now

[landonjochim]

I have a Scheduled Flow running every 2 hours. I am using the Get Items action and I would like to retrieve only list items that have not been modified for over 2 hours. I will then perform an action on each of those items.

I will use the Filter Query to return only the items that meet this result. Struggling with the formula. 

Modified lt subtractFromTime(utcNow(), 2, "Hour")

Additional question: Is there anyway to Not run the scheduled flow using Trigger Conditions if there are no items in the list with the Modified over 2 hours ago? I am doubtful here.

Please help with the filter query.. Thank you!

Use Single quotes instead of double.

Modified lt 'subtractFromTime(utcNow(), 2, 'Hour')'

You can not set trigger condition since there is no reference to SharePoint since its a schedule trigger.

Hello @landonjochim ,

Modified lt 'addToTime(utcNow(), -2, 'Hour')'

addToTime(...) must be entered as an exprssion

You can't tell the flow to not run if there're no new items, the flow doesn't know at the time when it's triggering the items it'll process = you can't block it from running.
