Let's now create something

00:00:07

a bit more complicated.

00:00:09

In this example, I know I have to fill

00:00:12

in my timesheets every single day.

00:00:14

I tend to have issues focusing sometimes.

00:00:17

Therefore, could I use power automate

00:00:20

in order to remind me to do such thing?

00:00:23

The answer is yes,

00:00:24

and to do so I'm going to use

00:00:27

what is called a template.

00:00:30

The templates in power automates our flows.

00:00:33

Which skeleton has already been created?

00:00:36

I will just need to fill in the

00:00:39

resulting informations.

00:00:40

I can search templates for my case.

00:00:43

I'm going to search

00:00:44

templates regarding emails.

00:00:48

And by scrolling down a few blocks.

00:00:52

I can see dress right here.

00:00:53

Get daily reminders in email.

00:00:57

This one is not what we call an

00:01:01

automated flow, but a schedule.

00:01:05

It says that this one will happen every day,

00:01:08

every week, every month,

00:01:10

every year depending on my

00:01:11

needs at a certain time.

00:01:15

In order to set this up right now,

00:01:16

I just need to click on continue.

00:01:20

This flow will connect to mail

00:01:22

and the green tick tells me that

00:01:24

the connection is already valid.

00:01:26

Nothing to do more.

00:01:29

I can see that everything

00:01:31

is already made for me.

00:01:32

Now I just have to fill

00:01:34

in the last options. 1st.

00:01:36

How often do I want to

00:01:39

receive this reminder well?

00:01:42

Let's say. Every week

00:01:46

and by clicking on show advanced option.

00:01:49

I can also use a stall time on

00:01:52

specific days and a specific

00:01:54

hour and a specific minutes.

00:01:57

Let's say I want to receive

00:01:59

these reminders add.

00:02:02

9:00 AM. Preview run that every week.

00:02:10

On these days, let's say I want this only

00:02:13

on Fridays at, as this will be today,

00:02:15

I will most likely do my timesheets.

00:02:20

Now I can see that the preview

00:02:22

tells me that not only it will

00:02:23

run at 9, but. Just on Fridays.

00:02:29

And how can I set up the email?

00:02:31

I simply have to add my email

00:02:34

address and the two field.

00:02:38

What would be the subject?

00:02:40

By default, daily reminder

00:02:42

from Microsoft Power automate.

00:02:44

I can should I want to do so,

00:02:47

change it to. Do your.

00:02:51

Time sheets studying please.

00:02:56

What would be the body of the email?

00:03:00

Just a reminder to do them.

00:03:04

As their Jew. By tomorrow.

00:03:13

And we can see that by simply

00:03:15

using the templates I was able to

00:03:18

create a recurring flow that will

00:03:20

happen happen on specific dates.

00:03:22

Now let's not forget to save it.

00:03:27

Use the flow checker for Arby's or warnings.

00:03:32

And test it manually or automatically.

00:03:36

As usual with power automate, should I

00:03:38

not want this reminder to happen again?

00:03:45

I can always just go to the my flows.

00:03:50

On the left navigation menu.

00:03:54

I can see here get daily

00:03:56

reminders in the email.

00:03:57

Use the edit button to change

00:03:59

the body of the email,

00:04:00

who will receive it,

00:04:03

the frequency anything and use the ellipses.

00:04:06

To turn it off.

00:04:07

Or even delete it.
