Weekdays only please: Schedule your Power Automate flows with respect

Its easy to be in an ‘always on’ state and get sucked into work at any time of the day or week. We have all cringed at our wellbeing & ‘Quiet Days’ measurements from MyAnalytics [1] in our inbox from time to time. If you are responsible for building scheduled workflows which send notifications or updates using Power Automate, you have the power to make a difference. Unless its urgent, please respect your users and only email them on weekdays.

The recurrence schedule allows you to define what days of the week your flow runs - its not the most intuitive to find. When you select ‘Daily’ there is no option to filter the days. Instead choose ‘Weekly’ and define the days you will send the updates.
