How to make Flow execute multiple Scheduled Jobs in correct order?

Aki18 · ‎03-18-2025

I created a custom Flow. The Flow calls custom Action that calls the Scheduled Job (A) to execute, using "

SncTriggerSynchronizer.executeNow()" method.

What I would like the Flow to do next is to call another Action to execute another Scheduled Job (B).

The important thing is to consider the sequence. Only after the first Scheduled Job (A) is completed, the next one (B) needs to work.

Please let me know how to achieve this.

*I tried to make the Flow check the "sys_trigger" record, but looks like its state is always "ready", so I think the Flow can't recognize the Scheduled job's completion.

Best Regards,

Aki

Hello @Aki18

That's the purpose of whole your requirement right ? If the scheduled job A is failing and you are not finding any logs, why would you proceed with scheduled job B.

look at the below picture -

This job was created by me and it's running per flow designer and it creates record only when completed. FILTER I TOLD WAS TO SORT IT Z TO A AND CREATED AT OR AFTER.

You won't be getting more records like that.

See how I added filter and I am not getting records. So just add the created filter in such a way that it brings only one record. I am sure there wouldn't be 10 other flows running this job so you won't be confused in multiple records.

Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway. This will help me be recognized for the efforts and also move this questions from unsolved to solved bucket.

@Aki18

why not merge them? i.e. In single custom action call both the scheduled job

but execution of scheduled job is aysnchronous

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thank you for your reply, but as I stated earlier, The Flow needs to consider the sequence. Only after the first Scheduled Job (A) is "completed", the next one (B) needs to work.

Please let me know how to achieve this.
