I have a very large Flow that starts with an initial result set and then formats the output of that result set into about 20 other extracts. This is becoming unwieldily resulting in intermittent Flow failure and even the Parabola editing interface is becoming problematic.
But given all extracts stem from the same set of transformations its not ideal to break this up and maintain 20 separate flows.
Is it possible to have the result of one Flow be the datasource for start of another flow?
Hi Geoff –
To have the result of one Flow be the datasource for another, you could add a “Send to Google Sheets” step to collect the data that you want to use as the source on another flow.
You could then use a “Pull from Google Sheets” step as the first step of your second flow, using the “Run another Parabola Flow” step as an orchestrator step.
Let me know what you think of this approach or if you have any additional questions!
Sharing along the good news in case others come across this thread. Parabola just released a new feature: Parabola Tables. Feel free to check out this post for the full announcement!
You can use the Send to Parabola Table step to export your result. From there, use the Pull from Parabola Table to use the results as a datasource for your next flow. Hope that helps!
