Parallel actions and Respond to PowerApps action in a flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by HKICE 239
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.

    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:

    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.
