Hi,
I have a subflow in Flow Designer that gets triggered on record updates. If the subflow is already running and triggers it again, a new execution starts, causing multiple parallel runs.
Thanks

I want to know how are you calling that subflow via alert rule?

Hi
I’ve attached the Alert Rule screen captures below that show how the subflow is being triggered.

may be it's invoked internally by some OOTB logic.
I haven't worked on Alerts, Events
But in subflow you can try checking if some Alert info is available, this will help you to know if same subflow already triggered earlier or not.
