    Hi, I’m trying to use this in Australia but it doesnt seem to be functioning. Is it not available in all locations yet? Even when i try to create a manual flow, there are no templates that already exist with the above so i’m assuming it’s not widely available yet.

      Hi Brad,
      It’s my understanding that this functionality should be available globally now. One thing to note, it won’t show up as a template in Flow. You can only configure it by going to the SharePoint list/library directly and selecting the Flow dropdown from there. Also, the option will only show if your SharePoint list in question has a Date field in it. Hope that helps.

        Thanks for your reply April! 🙂 I am literally sitting in a cafe now playing with this again now.
        Yes, i do have a date and yes i’m trying to set it up from the list itself and not Flow…..still not working 🙁
        Maybe it’s Chrome. I’ll give it another go in a different browser.
        Thanks – i’ll let you know!

          Thanks for this post. I am also having no luck getting it to launch. After clicking Flow – I see the ability to drag to set a reminder and choosing my date field – but nothing happens. Where you able to resolve this issue. I have also tried multiple browsers and lists.

  2. Hi, April –

    I have a list in which we track the expiration dates of 22 different certifications. Here is my problem: Each has 4 different reminders – 45, 30, 14, and 7 days from expiration.

    I had created my own flows from scratch, learned a lot, and ended up with an identical flow to your example here. What I am trying to do is have a single flow that checks all four dates for each certification so that I am not creating 88 different flows! So far, none of my ideas have been successful. Do you have any ideas?

    THANK YOU!!
