Trigger "When New Item Created" but 18 Lists (all the same schema)

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 10
Hi everyone,
 
I am wondering if there is a way that I can have one flow the gets triggered when a new item is created in any of the 18 SharePoint Lists that I have? I have been copying and pasting individual flows for each List because I want to run the same flow. The Lists all have the same schema; the only difference is there will be different permission groups for each List. 
 
Thanks!

    The Trigger must be for a single list.  The way I've done this in the past is to put everything but the trigger in a child flow and then create a flow for each list with a Trigger and a step to call the child flow.  You'll still need to create 18 flows to cover all the lists, but they only have two actions in each flow (the trigger and the child flow action). That way you can edit the child flow if necessary without having to redo all 18 parent flows.
