Parent-Child Flow and Dynamic Content

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by AP-08051455-0 2
Greetings,
 
I'm re-building a massive workflow into parent-child workflows and it is initiated with a MS Form.
 
In the parent flow, the first action is When A New Response is Submitted, followed by Get Response Details.
In the child flow, the first action is Manually Trigger a flow"
 
I don't know how to PULL IN the dynamic content from the parent flow.  How do I do this?  I've read/seen many ways to setup parent/child flows and it's so confusing.

Thank you.
Albert

    Its actually quite simple although like anything, it can be initially a pain
     
    1. Create your Parent (Manual or not)
    2. Create a Manual Child.
    -Add your Inputs into your Child
     
    Use the Run a Child Action into your Parent, passing in whatever you want
     
    Use the Response to a Flow or Power App (In the child) to return things back.
     
    This link will give you step by step, its honestly simple.
     
     
    If this solves your problem, please mark as such an maybe a like.
