Question: Trigger flow based off asset record age.

[Scott29]

I am trying to figure out how to trigger a flow based on the age of a record for ALM_Asset. Example, to create an incident to reclaim the asset if it is still in the system at five years old.

Hi @Scott29 ,

If incident creation is the only objective, this can be done using simple 'Scheduled job' to check daily or monthly etc if certain field (for example 'Installed' date) is older than 5 years from today's date then you can create an incident simply in the scheduled job script.

If you want some more steps to do with the help of Flow only, then you can create a flow with condition as 'Scheduled' and decide your schedule time there. After that you need to have your actions (may be a custom one created if needed) to check if certain field (for example 'Installed' date) is older than 5 years from today's date and use the next action as 'Create record' on Incident table.
