Has anyone of you experienced a limitation on scheduled events before? I’m scheduling backend workflows on lists, some at the same time when importing a data object. However, what I notice is that often when the list has 69 items, it only schedules 54 or 32. It just stops…
I’ve tried adding an interval and postponing certain flows but it keeps happening. No conditionals, just lists and workflows running at the same time.
Yes, I have had this problem before when adding items to a list in a database entry. So what I did was spread out the additions to the list by, for example, 1 second and it seems to work. In my instance, users upload a list using a CSV so I included a second column just called “row” and have the values count up sequentially (1,2,3,4, and so on) and then schedule the API with current date/time+seconds:the rows value.
Yes, this is a common thing involving lists and the back end workflows. A few solutions I have found are the following.
Scheduled the flows with +3-5 seconds in between.
If you are adding to a list, instead of running the add to list or set list, schedule a flow for X seconds at the end which will Do a search for all related items and add them to a list. I often have a 2nd flow after this which will run the same action again and can catch those final few items that are missed.
Can you share your settings? Are you calling an API in your workflow? (Not on the schedule on a list itself). Are you on the new schedule on a list version?
Interesting approach, do you then trigger these workflows when a row is imported or new data is added? Problem is that sometimes I have a list of 160 and then it would take so many seconds to complete
