How to Schedule a Power Automate Flow to Run Weekly and Send Email Reports?

Question

I want to create a Power Automate flow that runs on a weekly schedule and sends an email report. The report should include summarized data from an Excel file stored in OneDrive for Business.

What are the steps to configure this flow, and how can I ensure the email contains the required data in a readable format?

Answer 1

Send email weekly using Power Automate

To configure this flow, follow these steps:

• Create a scheduled cloud flow,
• Configure it to run on a weekly basis (e.g., every Monday at 9:00 AM).
  
• Add the "List rows present in a table" action to connect to your Excel file stored in OneDrive for Business.
  
  

Ensure the Excel file contains a table with structured data (e.g., column headers).

• Use the "Filter array" action to apply conditions to the data if needed.
• Add the "Select" action to format the data into a simple list or table structure.
  
• Add the "Send an email (V2)" action to send the report.
• Configure the email body to include the processed data. You can use HTML to create a table format for better readability.
