Run Several Manual Flows Simultaneously?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I've taught myself some basic flow functionality and may have overcomplicated things, so looking for help to simplify.  

 

I have two sets of flows set up to send reports to a set of users.  All reports are stored within folders on a SharePoint 365 site.  ~50 users in my organization each get a weekly and monthly report.   

 

  • Weekly report flows are automated to run each Monday.  The flow sends an email to the user containing a link to the report stored on the SharePoint site. 
  • Monthly report flows cannot be automated from a time standpoint because the information contained in the report isn't updated consistently each month, so we manually trigger them when the report is loaded. 

Manually triggering ~50 flows is time consuming and frustrating.  I would think there would be a way to select multiple manual flows and click "Run All" or something similar to run them all at once.  I've Googled extensively, and can't find a way to do this.  I've seen reference to using Solutions to group flows so this may be an option?  I'm really not sure how to set that up and it doesn't seem intuitive.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for how to do this more efficiently.  

 

Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    I would approach differently unless your scenario precludes it.

     

    Could you set up lists of users that need the reports and then just use a flow to send them a link to the folder each week / month and let them find the actual file themselves?

     

    You may also find that alerts within SharePoint could work such that the users get alerted when the reports are added to a folder.

     

    Or are these 50 different reports in 50 different folders?

    Late to the party, but interested to find out what you chose to do.  Can you create a MasterFlow to call all the other flows?
