How can I refine this Flow?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 46

I have got this flow working now and it doesn't give any problems but..

 

I wonder if there is a way to refine it?

Ideally I would like it to check every 5 minutes but as you can see from my image I would have to double up all the 10 min checks and make them 5 minute checks.

This is only a small snip of the whole as it checks 10 mins till 30mins then sends a Slack message then check again after 15 mins and sends an email.

Can anyone suggest a method or change?

    Not trying to be wise, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.😉

    Could you parameterise the "delay minutes" and call the flow from another flow that passes the appropriate number of minutes for the delay?  Or have I got the wrong end of the stick here?

     

    But in general I agree with the "If it ain't broke" sentiment!

    Continuous improvement is a thing though, we can always try to make things better.

    Sounds really complicated to me, it's a shame we don't have functions like in code, so we call that function to do the check every "x" mins etc.
