Cancelling a flow using flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by karl_oliverio 228

Is there a way to cancel a running flow using flow? Or is there a way where we can cancel a running flow? Searching a running flow and cancelling it is an arduous task so I am wondering if there is a much simpler way to cancel a running flow. 

 

Hi @RezaDorrani  - do you have any suggestions? 🙂

    Within the FLOW that issued the Approval you can Cancel the Approval by deleting the Approval object form CDS.  This will cancel the Approval and remove the entry from the Approval tab in the Flow website.  However it won't delete the email that was sent to the user.  Also, please note that doing this in CDS requires a premium license.

    Hi @karl_oliverio ,

     

    Sorry for I'm afraid that there is no any way to cancel a running flow using flow in microsoft flow currently, if you want the function to be supported in microsoft flow, you could submit an idea to flow ideas forum:
