Hi Babar,

The Task can be assoociated to any object right ? You just want an email alert if enddate is today().

You can implement this with Scheduled Triggered flow. 

Let me know if you face any issues.

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Hi,

This should not be recordtriggered flow because record triggered flow will get triggered when a record is created. But you want the email alert when the enddate is Today() because the flow should run everyday and check the records which has enddate as today.

So the flow should be Scheduled triggered flow.

Let me know if you need any details on it.

Thanks,

I changed flow as scheduled trigger flow.
Could you please check my conditions are right or wrong

Hi Babar,

Can you share the screenshot of the flow because you don't need the update element to send the email alert. You just need the start element and email alert component . 

Thanks,

Hi Babar,

You have to add a decision box below this element to check Enddare = Today() and to eliminate more records from processing the flow once the email alert is send set a checkbox field to true and add in the stat condition to filter out those values.

Let me know if you need details how to add decision box for the conditon check,

Thanks,
