How to stop flows running parallel

(0) Share

Posted on by Laurence73

Hi - we have a flow that pulls client records from iFirm and writes them to SharePoint. The flow has 2 simple steps and one very complex one that takes on average 1 minute to run per record - there is one flow per record. We update around 3000 records per run.

Problem is MS flow lines all 3000 flow instances and runs them all in parallel so it takes hours before we see the first results being loaded into SharePoint.

Is there any way to make each flow run to complete before the next one is run?

Thanks!

Hi Laurence73,

Could you share a screenshot of your flow?

But I am afraid that it might be a default behavior that Flow will get all the items first then write them to SharePoint list, so it would take a long time.

Best regards,
