Connecting two Power Automate flows

Hello,

I've been trying to rack my head around a solution to this and haven't been able to find much online. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have a Power Automate flow that is triggered when a Microsoft Form is submitted. This flow will create a SharePoint list item and add some attachments to it. At the end of the flow, an e-mail is sent to someone with a link to a totally separate Microsoft Form that needs to be filled out.

I need the 2nd Microsoft Form to write data to the same Sharepoint list item that was created when the 1st form is completed. However, to do so I need the SharePoint list ID number of that SharePoint list item. How can I transfer that SharePoint list ID into the 2nd flow?

At this point, I include the SharePoint list ID in the e-mail that is sent on the 1st flow. I then have a question on the 2nd Microsoft Form asking the user to input the SharePoint list ID shown in the e-mail. This is not ideal because I don't want the entire flow to depend on whether or not the user puts the correct SharePoint list ID in the 2nd Microsoft Form.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, MS Forms doesn't allow passing of parameters to a form so there is no way to preload the List ID into the form. The only real workaround is to do something like you are doing. If the people filling out the form are internal employees than another option would be to use a Power App and send them a Deep link to the form that includes the SharePoint list item ID. With a Deep link you can pass query string parameters to the form.

Connecting two Power Automate flows

You can't do that in a personnal flow, you need to use a "solution" where you will add both flow.

In the exemple below, I pass the file identifier from a master flow to a child flow.

In the master flow, you will have a step called "run a child flow".

In the child flow, you will need a manual trigger where you will ask for a parameter.

So the variable FileIdentifier will be the variable passed before.

At the end of your child flow, you will need to return something, to be sure the other flow get completed.
