Hi,
I have a Data folder containing zip files:
Files data: C:\Temp\Data
and 2 processing flows called Flow1 and Flow2:
■Flow1 will take care of moving all the zip files to the Move, Backup folder

I would like:
① Flow1 after moving the first 5 zip files to the Move folder will delay about 5 seconds,
② then it will call Flow2 by http request node to output the ListData.txt file containing the names of these 5 zip files
③ and Flow1 continues to move the remaining zip files (Data_0006.zip, Data_0007.zip) to the Backup folder.
⇒ I can do this, but steps ①, ②, ③ need to be performed sequentially ①➡②➡③.
Is there a way while ② is in progress will perform ③?
（Assuming ②'s processing takes a long time, I don't want to finish ② and then do ③）
