@YUKLEONG If you have more than 100 items in your SP list, you will need to toggle on pagination and set a threshold. The Get Items action returns 100 items per call by default, if you want more items returned per call you'll need to toggle on pagination and set a threshold. The threshold max is 5000.

Send Emails Based on a 📆 Date Column in SharePoint with Microsoft Power Automate

In this Microsoft Power Automate tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a flow that will send a Happy Birthday email to a user based on a date column in a SharePoint list. The SharePoint list also contains a column with a Manager’s name which we’ll use to send a three-day and day of reminder to the user’s manager.

This automation will use the Filter Array action to filter out all SharePoint list items where the user’s birthday is today or in three days. This flow can apply to a variety of scenarios such as:

📅 Student Birthdays

📅 Project Due Dates

📅 Contract/Membership Renewals

📅 License Expirations

📅 Client Anniversaries
