Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of the Execute Sub-workflow node?

This node allows you to call another existing workflow, promoting modularity and reusability. It helps manage complex automation sequences by breaking them down into smaller, focused workflows and managing complex Integrations.

How does the Execute Sub-workflow component handle data inputs?

The component passes the data items from the parent workflow to the child workflow, where it is often received by the Input Trigger node, allowing the sub-workflow to process the specific data payload.

Does this node act as a trigger for the sub-workflow?

Yes, when the parent workflow reaches this node, it internally acts as a trigger, initiating the execution of the selected sub-workflow without requiring an external trigger like a webhook or scheduled event.

Can I use this node for multi-system Integrations?

Absolutely. It is ideal for complex Integrations where a main workflow handles the primary trigger (e.g., a new sale) and the sub-workflows handle specific actions across different systems (e.g., updating CRM and sending notifications).

Is the execution of the sub-workflow synchronous or asynchronous?

You can configure the execution mode. By default, it often waits synchronously for the sub-workflow to complete and return its output before the parent workflow continues to the next node.
