Slow Flow - emails taking their time!

[mbutterz]

I've set up a flow from a new o365 account to send an email when a new sharepoint list item is created. However it seems to take about 2 minutes for the email to come through. Yet when I did the flow from my own account it was instant! Any idea why that might be and how to speed it up?

Depending on the Flow license involved it can take up to 5 minutes for some actions to happen.  That is the standard polling cycle for Flow when using a non-premium license.  This is pretty typical.  P1 and P2 licenses have a much shorter polling time. So if your regular license is a P2 then mail will be sent within a minute, while a regular user it may take up to 5.

Fixed!

I realised it was because the Flow account didn't have proper write permissions to the list. 

Once I gave it Full Control permissions it sent off the flow emails instantly.
