Using Power Automate with real-time journeys

Posted on by jwcpc

Just wondering if people have experience using custom triggers in real time journeys to trigger a power automate flow and how it fares with large numbers. A simple case I have is:

Enter campaign

Custom trigger (add to marketing list)
Send Email
Wait 7 days
Custom trigger (remove from marketing list)

In this case the marketing list would be used to suppress people from other campaigns that are running. This all works on a handful of records, but what if I throw 50000 records at it?

Throttle limits and general sense is that Power Automate is not really up to large numbers. If so, how would I handle a case like this?

Thanks

Jon

Hi,

Your contact id is in the wrong place. It should be the listmember listmemberid field that receives the contact ID passed by Journey.

Hi - I have a Custom Trigger where I set the list id, the contact Id comes over as standard:

Hi,

Where did you get the list id and contact id from? If it's easy for you to do so, could you provide the details of how to do it?

Thanks for testing this. I don't suppose you know how to remove a contact from a list using Power Automate:

I'm getting a error:

EdmEntityObject passed should have the key property value set.

Currently I'm passing list id as row id, contact id as entityid_value and I've tried various different values as Entitytype, but keep getting same error?

Hi,

We have tested it for your needs.

The flow is designed as follows:
Actioninputs msdynmkt_profileid : Represents the contact id passed from the journey to the flow.
Row id : The row id represents a specific marketing list id.

The journey is designed as follows：

For this test, we added 7000 records. That's roughly 3 entries per second, or about 5,000 entries in half an hour.
If you want to achieve 50,000 records, it might take about 5 hours.
This is my personal test, the above is for reference only.

Best regards,
