    Some of that depends on the trigger.  Most Triggers now are Polling triggers, so it can take up to 5 minutes for the trigger to fire.  If you are invoking the seperate flows using a standard trigger this can add a lot to the runtime of the overall process.  If you are invoking the other flows using HTTP calls that will work, but that action requires a premium license. 

     

    So in general, unless there is a specific reason, like reusabilty, I would opt for a bigger more complex flow.

    Hi @jgarciac,

     

    It depends on your requirements. If a complex Flow can complete all the Flow, this is better, as @Pstork1  said.

    However, if the Flow needs to be triggered more than once, for example, when a file is created, the Flow needs to be triggered. In the subsequent process, a file needs to be deleted to complete the subsequent process. Or when a process is in the middle of a Flow and needs to wait for other users to respond, and often the effect time is uncertain, multiple simple Flows are better.

     

    Of course, if you can provide a description of your requirements, I can give you some specific suggestions and solutions.
