Is it possible to set up automatic email reminders in Microsoft list that are sent out to people other than myself?

I need to set up my Microsoft list so that automatic email reminders are sent out to the person who is assigned a task on the list. How would I go about automating the system so that the assigned person receives weekly email reminders about their task until the deadline occurs?

    Here're steps for you to achieve this requirement.

    1.Create a person and group column named "assigned to" and a date and time column named "deadline".

    2.Create a flow as following pictures show.

    Expression reference:

    formatDateTime(item()['deadline'],'yyyy-MM-dd')

    addDays(utcNow(),0,'yyyy-MM-dd')
