I want to run a flow every hour to send an email to anyone that has updated their pending benefits (bnben) since the last time the flow ran.

I don't really see any time functions to use for this comparison.  I was just going to grab the system time and subtract one, but someone has a better idea - I'm open.

TIA,
Karen

Do you have SmartNotes? This is a perfect task for that tool.

Instead of scheduling a flow every hours would it be better if you have a flow that is triggered by either BN32 (or BN31 or ESS)? This way the flow will run every time there are changes to benefits. Hope this helps.

BS31 is the token that is used; however, the updatedb.js appears to be hitting it twice every time (twice on an add and twice on a change) - so the employees are getting duplicate emails.
