architecture parallelize of a Power Automate Cloud Flow

Posted on by SK-01091159-0

Hello, I need your architectural support for a Power Automate Cloud workflow.

The workflow queries a user list with attributes via HTTP. In a for each loop, the group membership is queried, also via HTTP, for each user.

My challenge is the for each groups loop. When I work with the Compose Action here, I cannot query the content from the loop. When used with variables, the flow works, but it runs for a very long time.

Can you please give me some tips on how to parallelize this process?

Thank you for your support.

Hi

You can enable Parallelism for the User Loop:

Click on your “For each user/Apply to each” loop.

Choose Settings.

Toggle Concurrency Control → On.

This alone will already make your flow much faster.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I have to dissolve the variable groups for the parallel process. A user can be member in multiple groups.

Use a GRAPH request: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-memberof?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Hi @SK-01091159-0

What are you trying to pull from your Get Groups action? In other words, in your screenshot above what are you doing in the Add To Variable action? We can likely pull this information out of the Get Groups array without using a loop.

In the Action "Get Groups" I call GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id}/memberOf. This returns one or more groups. I need to do this call for each user to get the user id.

@SK-01091159-0 Yes, I understand that. What information from the API call are you adding to a variable inside of the second loop? That's what we can pull out of the returned data without needing the loop, but we need to know what specific data you're trying to get out of the API call.

@SK-01091159-0 Can you provide us with a screenshot of the expanded action and a copy/paste of any expression in use? We need this information to know the structure of your data so we can suggest a solution.
