How to have multi-flow for automated testing in postman?

Question

As mentioned in the title, How to have multi-flow for automated testing in postman?

For example, I have these end-points:

Create a user
Delete a user
Create a post (needs a user)

I need automated tests like:

Flow 1: Create a user > Delete a user
Flow 2: Create a user > Create a post (needs a user)

I mean that I need to run multi test-flow.

I understand but this is the way you do auto test with postman, duplicate request in many folders to make the pre-condition or a step in a flow. — lucas-nguyen-17, Sep 13 '21 at 12:25
@lucasnguyen17 It will be hard if I used copy past because I will lose collection updates. — Hamidreza, Sep 14 '21 at 05:44
Yes, It'd be the bad practice, cannot apply "DRY" in postman, sad but true. I prefer using postman for manual test and api documentation, not for automation. — lucas-nguyen-17, Sep 14 '21 at 06:48

Try to add one folder for one use case, Each use case might have multiple testcases, create subfolders accordingly

Do not worry about duplicate request created in the subfolders, each testcases(folder/subfolder) should be independent. so that we can execute folders independently
