The Baretta

What Had a situation where I was pulling back 70,000 items in an array from a REST API call.  I wanted to create a SharePoint item for each of the items in an array, however the 'Apply To Each' action kept giving me the following error: ActionFailed . An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded. Why This was due to a Microsoft Flow limitation. When you are using the Free Version of MS Flow you are limited to 5,000 items in a loop .  Explained here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/limits-and-config Workaround I tried my best to come up with a workaround, tried splitting up the array into batches of 5,000.  All to no avail.  in the end, gave up, and saved the array of items to a CSV and saved the CSV in a SharePoint Library instead. body('Parse_JSON')?['applist']?['apps'] The only other alternative I could come up with is to grab the 'first 4999 items' from the array, which does work with an expression like this: 

If you want to be able to group actions together and minimise them in one step, you can use SCOPES.  I'm used to them being called 'Action Sets' in Nintex Workflow and constantly have trouble finding it, so as a quick personal reference here's a picture!
