Best practice for number of workflows on a single list
Quote from SherriJ_Novitas on September 27, 2022, 11:46 amIs it best to try to combine all actions you want to perform when an item is edited into a single workflow? Or does it matter if there are several workflows created to run on the "item is modified" trigger? If there are several workflows set for the modified trigger, do they all run at the same time and how would that impact server performance?

Within the actions (send mail/update item etc.) of the workflow, we can add conditions so that only required actions are performed while others will be failed based on criteria set.
If there are multiple workflow setup for same list on item update, they will run in sequence. Also, it is possible that one workflow will run prior to other which may lead to failure in condition evaluation while the later workflow execution is performed.
