I would like to have a condition

"Flow running"

the condition checks if a specific flow is running or not

(it's different from the exsiting condition flow enabled)

There is such thing already (kind of). You can put an action "execute flow" to run a flow, in which you originally wanted to put such condition.

Nope,
you can't compare a condition with an action.

I need CONDITION to check something , not an action.

By adding a global variable at the start of the flow and changing the value at the end you can do it. I send you 2 flow for the exemple.

Thank you very much, your flow are very intersting but i dont think they fit my need.

i would like to put a condition inside a flow to check if the flow is running, and if so stop it.
it's about the viber and whatsapp reminders flows ( see in flow sharing area).
When i get a new msg in viber the flow starts, its ok, but if i get more msgs before i open the viber app, the flow starts for each msg received. example

Hello, ( flow starts)
how are you? ( flow starts)
i am fine ( flow starts)

I would like the flow starts only for the 1st msg.

Then after the trigger, check if global_myflowrunning==1. If false, immediately set global_myflowrunning to 1. Then at the end of the flow, set global_myflowrunning to 0. I'm pretty sure that is what was already suggested tho.

I tink I understand more what you want. I made some change to one of your flow. Tell me if it's what you want. (I add the exeption because i don't have what's app and the global variable was stick to the 2 value)
