Error : Call child flow with custom value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 58

Hi,

 

I want to call child flow from a generic Power automate flow. I need to call the child flow dynamically based on the input value.

I am adding a custom value in Child Flow but I am getting error during saving the flow.

 

Please help how we can pass custom value to call a child flow dynamically.

    Hi @santoGD 

     

    what i understood from error message is the flow is trying to find the child flow by its ID not by its name 

    So you should include the flow id as input not the name of flow 🙂

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Thanks @Nived_Nambiar for the help.

     

    How I get the GUID of the workflow?

    I am taking from :

    https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/xxxxxxxx-qqqq-qqqq-aaaa-fb3c776a0a0d/solutions/xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-000d3a8c16a1/flows/bbbbbbbb-bbbb-bbbb-9df4-cb4ed92aef91?v3=true

    ID:bbbbbbbb-bbbb-bbbb-9df4-cb4ed92aef91 .Is this correct?

     

    Also, when I am passing this id to child workflow, it is again getting error only.
