Error when I launch 2x same Flou simultaneously

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hello,

can I ask for help? I created Flow from template. The purpose is to approve business trips. I have a Form (Forms) that the user fills in and their content is saved in the SharePoint list.  Flow can also be run for a longer time (because it waits for confirmation of approval by another user). But if another user runs the same Flow, a collision occurs and not all of the information in the sharepoint list is triggered from one of the running Flows. It seems to me that Flow can not run in more separate threads.

Am I right or is the error somewhere else?

Do you have any solutions?

Thank you

    Hello,
    Flow processes all steps to the SharePoint database.
    Flow has steps to wait for user interaction. If this interaction is not performed immediately and the same Flow runs again, one instance of Flow stops writing to the database. Both Flows are fine but only one Flow makes the Sharepoint entries correctly.
    I wonder if there is a problem with the line ID in the database.
    I'm attaching the Flow structure and the Sharepoint structure.
    Unfortunately, it's only in Czech language so I hope it will not stop you.

    Here's a brief, verbally explained principle of my Business Authorization Flow.
    The user fills the form and sends it.
    Flow evaluates the form information and sends a user manager approval.
    The manager has the option of approving or not approving.
    If he does not approve (or approve), the user will receive a mail with information that his mission has not been approved (or approved).
    If a request is for a reservation or a reservation, an additional mail is sent to the receptionist who arranges these things and Flow waits for the receptionist to confirm that the reservation has been made. After making a reservation, the email will be sent to the user that a reservation has been made.

    Thank you

    Hi @janz,

     

    Could you please share the Title of the template that you mentioned?

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

    My flow would always works well with no issue when the flow is lunch twice the same time.

     

    Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
