Execute Sub-workflow Trigger node

Use this node to start a workflow in response to another workflow. It should be the first node in the workflow.

DeepOpinion allows you to call workflows from other workflows. This is useful if you want to:

  • Reuse a workflow: for example, you could have multiple workflows pulling and processing data from different sources, then have all those workflows call a single workflow that generates a report.
  • Break large workflows into smaller components.

How data passes between workflows

As an example, imagine you have an Execute Sub-workflow node in Workflow A. The Execute Sub-workflow node calls another workflow called Workflow B:

  1. The Execute Sub-workflow node passes the data to the Execute Sub-workflow Trigger node (titled "When executed by another node" in the canvas) of Workflow B.
  2. The last node of Workflow B sends the data back to the Execute Sub-workflow node in Workflow A.
