Count number of actions in a flow

(0) Share

Posted on by Seil

I found out that the limit on number of actions in a flow is 500.
Now I need to know if there is a way to actually find out the total number of actions in any flow.

I found this link, https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Count-actions-in-flow/td-p/359786

But I couldn't find the 'Get flow" action. Is it a premium feature?

In any case, I would love to find a non-manual way to count the number of actions in any flow😊
Thank you!

@CFernandes

Thank you so much for your response!!!
The flow ran successfully😁

The link mentioned in my post was from 2019, so the icons have changed.

Hi everyone,

In case this is helpful to anyone else, I found that you have to search for the entire phrase "Power Automate Management", then expand the box (see yellow highlight):

Then look for 'Power Automate Management';

So, it is there, it's just quite well hidden :)

Once it's selected, you can choose your Environment and the Flow, and, if just looking for the number of actions for that Flow, add a Compose as the next step and use the following expression:

length(outputs('Get_Flow')?['body/properties/definitionSummary/actions'])

(renaming 'Get_Flow' if you choose to name that action differently for any reason).
