Limit on the Number of Flows a Single Microsoft Form Can Trigger

Posted on by swgsit

Hi everyone,

I've run into an issue while building automation using Microsoft Forms and Power Automate. I have a single Microsoft Form that I want to connect to multiple workflows. However, after creating a few flows(upto now there have been 75 workflows) with the same Form as the trigger, I'm now getting this error:

“Too many webhooks for the form.”

After doing some research, it seems like there's a limit to how many flows can use the "When a new response is submitted" trigger for the same Form.

Can anyone confirm:

What is the maximum number of flows that can be triggered by a single Microsoft Form?
Is there a workaround if I need to connect the same Form to more than 5 workflows?
Would using a dispatcher pattern (one main flow that branches into sub-flows) be the recommended approach here?

I'm working with a large automation setup and need to monitor or process form responses in multiple ways, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If all of your Power Automate Flows have the same trigger "When a new response is submitted", you could consider simply building your flows into child flows. This should be pretty easy because every one of your process probably uses a connector like "Get response details" anyway, so you just need to make sure to ask for the "response id" in your child flows, and you will be able to get the information you need.

Once you have your child flows set up, you can add them to a single parent flow, which will serve as the trigger, as parallel actions.

Hi,

Solution 1: Dispatcher Pattern (Recommended)

Create one main flow that handles all form responses, then branches to sub-flows:

Main Dispatcher Flow:

1. When a new response is submitted (Forms trigger) - ONLY ONE 2. Get response details 3. Parse/analyze response data 4. Multiple parallel branches or conditions: - Call Flow A (HTTP trigger) - Call Flow B (HTTP trigger) - Call Flow C (HTTP trigger) - etc.

Sub-flows Structure:

Each sub-flow: 1. When an HTTP request is received (trigger) 2. Parse JSON (form response data) 3. Process specific logic 4. Return response

Solution 2: Single Flow with Multiple Branches

Consolidate all logic into one comprehensive flow:

1. When a new response is submitted 2. Get response details 3. Switch/Condition blocks for different processing paths: - If response contains X → Process Type A - If response contains Y → Process Type B - If response contains Z → Process Type C 4. Parallel branches for simultaneous processing

Solution 3: Use Child Flows

Create reusable child flows and call them from the main flow:

Main Flow:

1. When a new response is submitted 2. Get response details 3. Run child flow 1 (pass response data) 4. Run child flow 2 (pass response data) 5. Run child flow 3 (pass response data)

Child Flows:

Each child flow: 1. Manually trigger a flow (with input parameters) 2. Process specific logic using input data

Solution 4: Power Platform Solutions Approach
Use Power Platform Solutions to organize your flows better:

1. One main form handler flow 2. Multiple solution-aware flows that process data 3. Use Dataverse or SharePoint lists as intermediate storage 4. Trigger subsequent flows based on data changes

Solution 5: Queue-Based Processing

Use a queue system for complex scenarios:

1. Main Flow: - When form submitted - Add response to SharePoint list/Dataverse table - Set processing flags 2. Multiple Processing Flows: - Triggered by "When an item is created/modified" - Process specific aspects based on flags - Update completion status
