Invoke One Flow From Another Flow (Call Child Flow from Parent Flow)

By -
    In this example we will be creating SharePoint List items by child Flow and Parent Flow. Here we will call Child flow from Parent flow & both will create new items in List.

Create Child Flow:

           Child flow will be triggered "when HTTP Request received" & it will create new SP list item. 

  •  To Create Flow >  From "SharePoint admin center" > Power Automate


  • Power Automate site > Create > Instant Flow

  • Enter Flow Name & choose how to trigger the workflow "when HTTP Request received", click Create.


  • Click on the header & click on payload to generate schema 

  • Enter {"Title":""} & it will generate schema like below. then click "New Step"


  • In new step > Search "SharePoint"  > Select "Create Item" > select SP URL & List name

  • For the Title field when we click it will suggest to add Title from Parent flow(which we created in 1st step & Note: This title value passed from Parent flow). Click Save
  • Once we saved it will give "Http Post URL" .This URL will be called in Parent flow(to invoke this child)


Create Parent Flow & Call Child Flow:

    We will create parent flow & call child flow.  Parent flow will create one list item & child flow will create another list item.
  • To create Parent flow >Click "Create" > Instant cloud flow > Enter Flow Name > select trigger as "Manually trigger a flow" > Create


  • STEP 1 (Invoke Child Flow using HTTP):
    Click "New step" > type HTTP > select "HTTP" action 
  • Select Method as post, enter Child Flow URL (copy from child flow. My flows> ChildFlow > Edit> here we can find the url), Add headers and body(Title text of child flow list item) like below image


  •  STEP 2: (Create List Item from Parent Flow)
    Click "new step" > search "SharePoint" > select Action "Create Item"> Select SiteURL, List  & Enter Title & Save (Create Item From Parent Flow). Now parent flow is ready.


Run Parent Flow:

  •  Click On "My Flows"> On Parent Flow click "Run"> Click "Continue" & "Run" > Now we can see 2 items were created in SP list (1 from Child Flow & 1 from Parent Flow).


To check Flow running history:

  • Go to "My Flows" > select Flow > Options > Run History > check the status & click time to check full details

When a model is available, each type name must resolve to a valid name must resolve to a a valid type" This happens because there is a space in the list name.
