I have a flow that fires when calendar event changes, but i need it to wait if another instance is already running.and and started in the last few minutes.

 

 

Possible? how?

    Hi @Jpineiro,

     

    Do you want to check if another instance of the same flow is running within Microsoft Flow?

     

    Thanks for your feedback, Microsoft Flow could only support multiple-thread currently, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently. 

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    I have a flow that checks to see if something is available and assigns itself it.  somehow i have the same resources getting assigned multiple times because the flow is running at the same exact second apparrently.  I'm thinking a random wait of 1-5 seconds might help.  Really no way to check , how many instances of tis flow are running right now? seems like a common problem.
