Flow / Subflow trigger exception and limit

[Yuvan Raj Kuma1]

Is it advisable to trigger a flow/subflow more than 20,000 times in a single shot? Will it create any performance issues? Note : that flow/subflow also has 3-4 actions in it.

Hi @Yuvan Raj Kuma1 ,

It can lead to performance issues as it would consume a significant amount of system resources.

It can lead to data inconsistency if the flow or subflow is manipulating data.It may cause timeouts or other unexpected errors.

Instead Use batch processing to process the records in smaller chunks. - Optimize the flow or subflow to reduce the number of actions or simplify the logic.  Use asynchronous processing to allow the system to handle other tasks concurrently.

Mark it as helpful and solution proposed if it serves your purpose.
Thanks,
