have you seen my example here?

‌

what are the parallel actions for?

Daniel Abraham‌ - 

Cassy Freeman‌'s example is a good one to follow, I would recommend that you take a look if you can.

I would approach it similar to what you have already, but you need to add a few more actions. First, make sure you are getting the due date from your list, you'll need it to compare to eToday] + 3. Once you have that, simply use a Run If.

It will look something like this:

Things to keep in mind:

1. This is a SITE WORKLFOW, not a list workflow

2. Date comparisons can be tricky due to the time piece

Hope this helps!

Hey Cassy,

thanks for the reply. I had a look at your example at it seems very similiar to mine. I also checked the workflow-history to see which parts of the workflow does not run properly. It seems like the "For-each"-block does not even start.

This is how its configured:

AssignedColl is the Collection for the row which contains the person who is supposed to receive the email. AssignedTo is the single variable.

They get queried like this:

CurrentDate is a variable which is previously set to date when the workflow is executed.

Does anything there strike you as problematic?

The parallel actions are there to fetch the single values I want to include in the email out of the collections.

Thanks!

doesn't look problematic.

chuck a log to history list action in before the for each and just log "AssignedColl" and check there are items in the collection?

It works! The problem was a wrong column got loaded into the collection. Thank you so much for your time!

no worries - sometimes you just need to talk it out to realise what has gone wrong...  happens to all of us (me more so than others haha).  Please make correct an answer to close the thread.
