Terminating a flow VS Respond to a PowerApp or flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 776

I have a parent flow which calls multiple child flows.

 

In one of the child flows if a condition returns false the child flow is terminated, using the "Terminate" action, and if terminated the parent flow does not run the "Respond to a PowerApp or flow" action. Therefore, the parent thinks that the flow has failed given that it expects a response from the flow. 

 

Would like to understand if the "Respond to a PowerApp or flow" action is able to terminate the flow instead of using the "Terminate" action or will I have to add the "Respond to a PowerApp or flow" action before the "Terminate" action so that the parent flow knows that the flow ran successfully and did not fail.

    Hi @rpersad 

     

    You can add an output variable in "Respond to a PowerApp or flow" to return the status to the parent flow. The parent will check the status & perform the actions accordingly.

    Hi @ManishSolanki 

    My question is does the action "Respond to a PowerApp or flow" also terminate the flow or will the flow still run.

     

    I am new to PowerAutomate and the person who created the flows left so I am trying to get a better understanding.

    The child flow will be returned back to parent flow when action 'Response to power app' is executed.

    Hi @rpersad,
     
    how did you manage it? I'm having the same issue here.
    Do you respond to the flow prior the termination?
