Cloud Flow Triggers a Cloud Flow

Posted on by MM-10041750-0 4
I may have just missed this somewhere obvious, but is there an action than can trigger another cloud flow? I see one for desktop flows, but not cloud. I do see how you can use the Flow admin actions to turn flows on an off which would sort of act like a trigger or maybe update data in a Dataverse table at the end of a flow to trigger another but curious to know if there is a more direct way or better workaround.

    in Power Automate, you can create a parent flow that calls into a child flow.

    Option 1:
    Make sure your flows are running in a solution and then you will see an action called Run a child flow where you can trigger another flow
     
    Option 2:
    Create a table or SharePoint list purely for triggering other flows. Your parent flow would create a row in this table/list and another flow would trigger on e.g. for a list: When an item is created
