Calling a Child Flow

When we worked with old school Workflows, we usually use child workflows to keep the logic in one central point if need to be trigger from different situations. I glad to see same approach is possible in modern flows/ Power Automate.

Below are the simple steps to follow;

1. Create the child flow first and make sure it is On.

2. Child Flow should be a Instant type one

3.So it will start with a manual trigger with what ever the parameter we need to pass value for.


4. Importantly, it is needed to end the child flow in style, by passing back the response to parent Flow. It can be just a simple success message.


5. Now we are good to call the child flow. When you do, it presented with Parameters, so easily values can be passed. 


This sounds simple.. but learning fundamentals is not a bad thing.
