Microsoft provides a variety of ways to create reminders in SharePoint. I prefer to create custom reminders with Power Automate because it gives more control over when reminders are sent and customisation of the notification messages.

In this video I create a simple reminder notification that can be used on document library.

This video is part 2 of a series on Controlled Documents. (Part 1: Build a document approval system with SharePoint and Power Automate from scratch)

In this video I walk through creating a custom reminder notification that will send reminders to Document Owners 30 days before the Reminder date.

Note the OData Query Filter includes the column name containing a date. This will need to be updated to match the internal field name used in your Document Library.

The demo includes the following items:

• Getting a subset of documents from a library (Get Files)
• Date calculations using AddDays() and UTCnow() functions
• Tips on debugging
• How to send emails

This is a beginner level video intended for people who are new to Power Automate.
