Microsoft Flow call another Flow - Power Automate, MailChimp, Excel, child flow, and more

In this video, you will learn how to call one Flow from another Flow. The scenario is importing a spreadsheet of contact info and asking them via Email with Options if they would like to join the Mailchimp mailing list.

My two favorite Power Platform Gurus together. Awesomeness

Please keep collaborating more! The more diverse videos you make, the better it is for us to apply them to our situations

I like Shane's videos and teaching strategy most because he always use real business scenarios/cases & explains before hand what he's gonna accomplish (the need/motive of the project itself). often with others MVPs videos after watching the entire video I kinda find myself getting lost in questions like... why do I need this in the first place ? when to implement ? I think ''How'' should be the last. And Thanks Shane for following a good teaching strategy and doing it step by step that helps everyone from beginner to advance audiences . Sometime It doesn't matter to me how excellent the content is but how it's presented IMHo..easy/simple to understand??. Otherwise it's just waste of time if i get confused after spending my time

Thanks Shane and John! You too are my favorite Gurus! Love from Manila, Philippines!

collab more! its always nice to have someone there to have your back when you mess up, or to gain a different perspective.

I loved this video, thanks for such a clear explanation. Concurrency is really useful and makes flow*COUGHS*Automate even more powerful

[jungbc]

FYI, after watching your video (with your recommendation), I purchased Jon's Udemy video (10 Advanced Tips for Building Effective Flows). Thanks for the collaboration with other experts.

[FreshStart]

OK, so I love both you guys. Always awesome, amazing content. Made me a hero with my clients. My only suggestions would be to try to start the demos around the 2 minute mark instead of the 8 minute mark. :)

[rodmiddleton]

Mixing in more of these collaborations would be great.

Thanks for showing how to call another flow! I have used the concurrency method in the past where you can do batches of 50, but another annoying thing about that method is that you can't see the results of your flow until all 50 emails have been responded to or timed out since it is still in a 'running' state until they are all resolved.

Great collaboration... loved it... but I do wonder... If I would use an App to call on a flow with a HTTP action... does that mean every app user needs to have a premium licens?

[PaulaYamashita]

Hi Shane, thanks for your videos. I'm newbie in Power Apps, trying my first app, and your videos are helping a lot. I have a question... IS it possible use power apps and flow to filter data from a share point list and export this data to an excel file? Thanks! :)

[ndatasolutions]

Shane!!!! could you please do a short video on how to link MailChimp to Sharepoint lists, regularly updating subscription and click info when required, can't seem to find this information online

[ndatasolutions]

Is there anyway to create a live link so that everytime a contacts subscription info is updated on Mailchimp it updates on Sharepoint. And is there a way of pulling through campaign based information too?

[BuddyQuaid]

Is there a way to subscribe someone and fill out custom merge tags? I have custom merge tags that I need to send. Seems weird that flow doesn't have it because I can do this from my Divi wordpress site!

[ukaszjedrusik]

What with security in "When a HTTP request is received" because every client eg. 'postman' can run this flow by providing url? Are there ways authorization? Basic, Jwt? How to implement them correctly?

[marryvond]

Hi Shane,
Is there a way to this without premium connectors and how?

[gilbertwalker]

Thanks for this tutorial. Really cool, just wish it was actually straight forward to replicate! :(
So... if anyone else is having trouble - No you can't type in "When an HTTP request is received" to find that trigger for the 2nd flow (even though that is it's name!). Instead type "Request" and it'll come up.

Also, there is a real catch 22 in this 2nd flow hey. It won't let me save until I've entered proper details, BUT I can't get the details until I've saved. What. The. Heck. Seriously irritating!

[sokgat]

Nice format!!! Less introduction next time!!!

[scottsalvner]

There are two issues with how this was done, but the idea was great. First off, the HTTP Connector doesn't like to wait for an approval and will keep executing the child flow with the approval. This means that we are getting a new approval email every two mins. Secondarily, you need to set "parallelism" on the apply to each connector to get over the running sequential issue. The problem here is that the most you can have at one time is 50 parallel processes. In an enterprise deployment, this could be an issue. If anyone has a solution to the retry issue I'm all ears. I tried setting the retry setting in the HTTP connector, but the highest it will go is 1 day. Thoughts?
