    I would add another calculated field ..

    Then you create a Recurrence flow that runs daily and Retrieves all records where Calculated Field = Today

    You can use the List Rows Action with FetchXML

    This is a good way.

    But maybe a field to calculate how many days left...

    Then I can use this field = 30 to send a email, =7 send another...

     

    How to set calculate about this? utcNow() - datetime field?

    I found I can use:

    DiffInDays(NOW(), crb94_webschool_expire)

     

    But there is a question.

    now() shows date of my time zone.

    But date stored in CRM is UTC.

    How to correct it?

    @ufgeorge are you using Diffindays in power automate or as a calculated field?

    @Mira_Ghaly 

    I use Diffindays in calc field.

    It can only use utcNow() in Power Automate.

     

    I don't know if I was wrong!

    Can you tell me Now() returns utc time or local time?

    Then I can decide how I can use it.

     

    TKX.

    It will work as UTC Time

    I see.

    If result of Diffindays ()  is lower than 24hours, the result will show 0 because it is less than 1 day.
