Multiple Records Triggering a Flow Simultaneously

(1) Share

Posted on by Gwalling

I have a model driven app where users can "edit all" and allow multiple Dataverse records to triggering a Flow simultaneously. That's great but I want each run of the Flow to run sequentially not in parallel.

How can I get multiple records to not trigger the Flow simultaneously?

Hi @Gwalling,

You can try to configure the trigger concurrency. I never tested it with Dataverse triggers, but it must solve your problem.

Here is an example on how to configure it:

In your flow, go to the Settings tab on the trigger, enable the Concurrency control and set the parallelism to 1 (in yellow). depending on the qty of expected changes, you may want to increase the maximum waiting runs as well.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

Concurrency Control is set to 1 already and i do not have a Maximum Waiting Runs - where do you find that feature?

The concurrency control just means one instance of the flow will run at a time. That does not mean it will prevent the flow from triggering. Successive triggers should show as waiting and are then processed in order as they are added to the queue. It notes this in the description of the concurrency control. Can you show your flow run screen that multiple instances are indeed running at the same time and not waiting?

You probably don't see the waiting runs, as once you set this, it cannot be undone.

Hi @Gwalling,

It looks like the Maximum wait runs setting is available only in the New designer.
