How to send mails with pre-programmed dates in Outlook?
Is it possible, with a script, to produce a file understandable by Outlook, containing several events and dates, and send automatiquely a invite by mail to the persons concerned by these events, just a few hours or days, before they happen?
My input file will be a .txt file containing several lines:
Date1 Event1 albert@xxx.com
Date2 Event2 georges@yyy.com
Albert will have to receive a invite mail a few hours before Event1 to participate to it, same for Georges for the next Event2.
Thanks

Hello
The free version of Outlook Live provides this, write a message now and you have the choice of sending later and opens a calendar with the date of your choice - Christmas wishes, birthday - so I send it works well.
- Thanks Andrzej, but that was not exactly what I was looking for. I already get outlook in office365, and I know how to send one delayed message to a particular address manually.
What I want it to automatize the process. I have a list of persons to whom I want to send a message at a particular date (see my example in my first mail).
For example I want that Albert receives a message on date 1 and Georges on date2 automatically from the information I entered in my list. I don't want to do it manually.
- That's possible. You have to create yourself or hire someone to create a VBA script or an add-in for Outlook (assuming your Outlook is always run). If you need Outlook-independent solution and you work against Office 365, Microsoft Power Automate flow can help.
Victor_IvanidzeThanks Victor. I don't know neither VBA nor Microsoft Power Automate Flow, so it's not going to be easy....
I began to search some Power Automate models but pages only responded : "Error 404 page not found".
Could please send me models of pre-programmed e-mail sending?
