Are you managing numerous flows in Power Automate and need an efficient way to cancel more than 20 runs at once? Here’s a handy guide to streamline this process using a special template.
Key Points to Remember:
- The template processes about five runs per minute. Altering the delay period might lead to throttling, so it’s advisable to use it as is.
- Note: This template requires a license that includes premium connectors.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cancel Flow Runs:
Gather Your Environment and Flow IDs:
- Finding the Environment ID: Go to ‘Home‘ in Power Automate and check your browser’s address bar. Your Environment ID is the string between ‘environments/‘ and ‘/home‘.
- Finding the Flow ID: Navigate to ‘My flows’, select your flow, and check the address bar on the Details page. The Flow ID is between ‘flows/‘ and ‘/details’.
Access the Template:
- Log in to Power Automate and locate the ‘Cancel all my flow runs‘ template.
Set Up the HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID:
- Don’t check the Gateways box.
- For Base Resource URL, enter
https://api.flow.microsoft.com. - In Azure AD Resource URI, input
https://service.flow.microsoft.com.
Configure Power Automate Management:
- In the Authentication Type, select ‘First Party‘.
- Save the flow in the designer.
Run the Flow:
- Input the Environment and Flow IDs you obtained earlier.
- Execute the flow, which will cancel all the runs.
Confirm Cancellation:
- Check the ‘Run history‘ page to ensure the cancellation of the runs.
This method is an effective way to manage your flow runs, especially when dealing with a large number. Remember, the key to a smooth process is ensuring you have the correct IDs and following the steps carefully.
This approach is identical to the one we explored in a previous article. However, Microsoft has now conveniently introduced a template to simplify the setup process for us.
