Create Child Flows in Power Automate

Child flows are used to easily manage flows, avoiding flows with hundreds of steps. In this video, I have explained how to create child flows in Power Automate and call the child flow from parent or main flow.

This was a great explanation. Now I understand how child flows work. After watching many videos, yours made the most sense. Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

An important fact about child flows is, that the flow actually continues running after the "Respond to a PowerApp or flow" action, which can pose a problem. So it may be good practise to add a Terminate (success) after the respond action if it's somewhere in the middle of the flow. Because although from the parent's view the flow is finished with the respond action, if the child flow continues running, it may cause some problems. At the end of the flow, of course, you don't need a terminate (success) action - it's implicitly terminating with success anyway at the bottom.

this can be used for example to catch a failed action in the child flow and pass a status message to the parent. And the parent can then react accordingly to the status message.
