Branching logic would allow multiple workflow processes to run simultaneously. Based on the current functionality it would be very difficult to use Flow for any complex approval scenarios. Right now it's limited to a very linear path with conditions. I would love to have options like: For Each, Conditional Branch, Filter, Loop.

Status:

We now support a number of different options for branching. Today we also added Switch case which makes it easy to have several parallel branches: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/search-by-service/

Hey guys, I used workaround described here - https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/error-handling/ as error handling for getmanager when no manager is filled for user. But the problem is that Flow is still in state Failed even that this, so it seems that it crashed, but it worked fine. So i suggest not to detect such flow run as failed, cause it finished fine in parallel branch. I beleive that the problem is that the second branch was triggered also and that produced failure. This should be definitely changed. P
