Combine two flows, add reminder process and update SP list process after MS form completed

[ClarkyPA365]

Hi,

I need some advice as to where to add elements of a Flow so it is one Flow and not two??

Currently I have this flow for sending out an Email with options when a new SP item is created

I then have another Flow to capture the response of an MS Form and the Update Item in the SP list

What I would like to achieve is combine the two Flows and also add in Reminder option if email has not been to responded in a number of days

@ClarkyPA365 Your scenario has "when an item is created" and "when a new response is submitted" as triggers. You won't be able to combine them because you can't have more than 1 trigger in a flow.

Hi @RobElliott 
Is there not a away that I can do away with one of the triggers, for example the 'when a new response is submitted' and insert the 'Get Response', Update Item'??

Can the reminder process still be applied to the bigger flow  'when an item is created'??

[RobElliott]

@ClarkyPA365 no because it won't know what form response it is looking at. A reminder process can't be combined with this either because you'll need a separate flow with a recurrence schedule trigger to check each day if the email has not been responded to, and if it hasn't after x days then send the reminder. You are looking at 3 flows: it is a common situation at our company.

Don't make life difficult for yourself by trying to work out how to combine flows, just create as many flows as you need.

Hi @RobElliott 

Thanks for you reply and I must admit I do try and make things more complicated then they should. As you have gathered!

I'll create a separate Flow for the reminder.

I've created this Reminder Flow.  Using the SP column 'Status' as the condition.
If this does not meet the condition 'No' then a reminder email will be sent out.
Do I need to add any Expression into the Filter Query field?

Also if I just want to limit the number of reminders to be sent how would I do this. Example if not replied after 2 reminders then stop sending??
