Parent flow calling child flow

Posted on by Tourist

I have a parent flow which is triggered from the Powerapps and at the end of that flow I am running a child flow which also uses powerapps as a trigger point so in the child flow i'm getting some data from the SharePoint and at the end I added the "Respond to powerapps" action. but I'm getting an error in my parent during the call of child flow

Can anyone tell me how to resolve it. Child flow trigger point is also powerapps so there is no run only user setting available there @RezaDorrani @Pstork1 @Paulie78

Hello @Tourist

You will need to Navigate back to your ‘Child‘ Flow on the management screen, click on ‘Edit‘ for the ‘Run only users‘.

In the ‘Run only users‘ section select the Connection from the drop down.

Navigate back to you Main Flow, and now you should not see the Error about ‘Run a child Flow‘. All done! It’s now time to test our Solution.

The child flow trigger should be a manual Power Automate trigger, not a Power Apps trigger. Here's a simple child flow I use in one of my projects. You can't use the Power Apps trigger in the Child flow when you are triggering it from a flow.

Hi,
Will this have any effect on access to end users? Run only users menacingly suggest can only be run by user who created the flow.

No. The Run only user setting in the solution specifies what security context is used to run the connections. Setting it this way means that everyone uses the security context of the owner rather than generating their own OAuth connection.
