How to run Parallel thread in single flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CU27110519-0 45
 Reading list from SharePoint, which contains 500 records. For each record, I need to send an email to L1.5 team, wait for 5 minutes to receive an acknowledgment, and then update the record in the list.
If I were to do this sequentially in a single flow, it would be very time-consuming. Hence, I am looking for a way to perform this task in parallel using Power Automate Cloud Flows. Could you please provide me with some guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this?

    If you look in the settings of the Apply to Each you are using to process the records you will see that Concurrency is disabled. If you Enable that and set Degree of Parallelism to 50 you'll run 50 of the loops concurrently.  That's the most you can run in parallel.
