Automatic emails

Create a scheduled cloud flow in Power Automate, configure it to run weekly on three selected days, and add the Microsoft 365 Outlook Send an email (V2) action.

Create the recurring email

1. Sign in to Power Automate.
2. Select My flows → Cloud flows → Create from blank.
3. Select Add a trigger, search for Recurrence, and select it.
4. Configure the recurrence:
   • Interval: 1
   • Frequency: Week
   • Time zone: Select your local time zone.
   • On these days: Select the three required days, such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
   • At these hours: Select the sending hour.
   • At these minutes: Enter the minute, from 0 to 59.

Power Automate supports selecting multiple days when the recurrence frequency is Week.^1^

5. Under the recurrence trigger, select +:
   • In the new designer, select Add an action.
   • In the classic designer, select New step.
6. Search for Send an email (V2) and select the action under Microsoft 365 Outlook.
7. Complete:
   • To: The recipient’s email address.
   • Subject: The subject to send each time.
   • Body: The repeated email content.
8. Select Save.^2^

Test it

1. Select Test on the flow toolbar.
2. Select Manually → Test.
3. Select Run flow.
4. Confirm that the run finishes with a green check mark and the recipient receives the message.
5. Review 28-day run history on the flow’s details page if the message does not arrive.^2^

The flow will then send the same message automatically on each of the three selected weekdays. To pause or change it later, open Power Automate → My flows, select the flow, and edit or turn it off.
