Power automate child flow run twice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi All,

I have a main parent flow that calls a child flow. I am only calling the child flow once from the parent flow.

However, when I check the run history of the child flow, I can see that it has been executed twice.

When I open the run history of the parent flow and expand the flow action, it only shows one child flow execution.

Could anyone please advise why the child flow is running twice automatically, even though it is only being called once from the parent flow?

    Can you show where you are going to see multiple runs of the child flow within the parent flow. Are you looking in the automation center at run history like this:
     
    Or are you looking at the run history in the flow like this:
     
    Also, please share a screen shot of how your flow is configured and especially where the child flow is being called.
