Is there a way we can convert existing flow to scheduled flow . Currently my flow runs every other minute which is crossing the limited actions in my user plan. I want to fix the flow to run at one particular time, so that all the changes made in parent sharepoint gets flowed to child sharepoint at that particular time. If this is possible, then what need to be added to my existing flow.

Hey @Anonymous
Yes, this is possible, but it might be a bit more difficult depending on what/how you configured things. The type of a flow is defined by its trigger, so you just need to delete the SharePoint trigger and put in a "recurrence" trigger. If you are referencing within your flow to the current SharePoint trigger, you would need to add a "get items" SharePoint action.

Does this help you? Otherwise please give me some more information.

Best regards
Marvin

I had tried, but its not allowing to add recurrence trigger at the beginning of my flow. My flow starts as below. Else My flow talks between two SharePoints, so every time there is an update in Parent list ,flow runs to child list. What need to be added to my existing flow to make it run one time in a day, so that whatever changes/updates from parent list flows to child list at a fixed time in a day.

@Anonymous you will need to delete the when an item is created or modified trigger, you can't have that AND make it run once a day. You'd need to add the recurrence schedule trigger and set set it to run when you want it to. Then your first action yu could add a get past time action and set it to 1 Day. Then add a SharePoint get items actions. As you only want to get the items that were created since yesterday then add a filter query of Created ge '{Past time}' which is an expression you create in the Expression tab of the dynamic content box.

Then in the apply to each which you'll get because of the get items action, add whatever follow-on actions you need.

I have applied the above steps. Currently my flow is running, but how long does it take to run completely, is that depends on the no of updates in the sharepoint? its 1.5 hrs and still running..

You'd need to give us some screenshots of your amended flow. The most likely cause of slow running is that you didn't put a filter query into the get items action which means the flow is less efficient as it has to evaluate every item in your list.
