Parallel actions and Respond to PowerApps action in a flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by HKICE 237
I have a flow like this (see image below) that updates 3 lists. 
Each updates takes different completion times. 
 
The question is will the final "Respond to PowerApps flow" action wait till ALL the previous actions complete and then return a "Success" or will it return a "Success" after the very first update action is complete ?  
 
Thanks.

    It will wait, HOWEVER, if one of them fails, then the respond won't fire UNLESS you modify the "Configure Run After" for the Respond to trap for failures, skips, and timeouts.

    Hi,

    Both branches will need to complete before the 'respond to powerapps flow' will execute. 
     
    This is documented:
    Your workflow waits for all parallel branches at the same level to complete before running the action that joins these branches.
    See reference from Microsoft:
