Follow-up Reminder

Watches deal activity dates and nudges the owner before an opportunity goes cold.

This flow is being documented

Architecture and use case are already public. Build instructions and screenshots follow as the flow is finalised.

Use case

Deals stall quietly. A cadence check on last-activity dates turns 'I meant to call them' into a scheduled prompt.

Who uses it

Account executives and their managers.

Real scenario

Three opportunities have had no activity for ten days. Each owner receives a morning card listing them, with a snooze and a 'logged a call' action.

Time saved

Before

Deals forgotten between pipeline reviews

After

A daily nudge on the exact records at risk

Time saved

Recovered pipeline, plus ~20 min of manual review per day

How it works

A daily recurrence reads the opportunity list, filters on last-activity older than the configured cadence, groups the results by owner and sends each one an actionable card.

Step-by-step build

  1. 1

    Store the cadence threshold per deal stage in a configuration list.

  2. 2

    Daily recurrence with a weekend guard.

  3. 3

    Get opportunities where LastActivityDate is older than the stage cadence.

  4. 4

    Group by owner and send one card per owner listing the records.

  5. 5

    Log every nudge so managers can see reminder history in the pipeline review.

Copilot prompt

Paste this into Power Automate Copilot to scaffold the flow.

Copilot
Create a scheduled daily flow with a weekend guard that reads a SharePoint opportunities list, filters records whose last activity date is older than the cadence configured for their stage, groups them by owner and sends each owner an adaptive card listing the at-risk deals, logging each reminder for the pipeline review.
