Alerts attached to start / due dates?
I am not sure if this is possible, or if there is a way to bodge it but... We have a list of tasks (assigned) and each has a start date and a due date. We would like the assigned individuals ...
Hi aliceuwe , the easiest way to do this is with Microsoft Flow. You can send an email a couple of days before a task is due in the SharePoint list to the person assigned to the task and perhaps also a reminder on the day itself. It all works well and is better than alerts or the old workflows. Come back with any questions or if you want a detailed example.

RobElliott Thank you for that, I have not used Flow before but it looks interesting.
I have fallen at the first hurdle mind you. I'm signed in, but it's not picking up any site....
aliceuwe in which case try clicking on "Enter custom value" and typing the name of the site. Sometimes Flow doesn't pick up sites or document libraries.
