Trigger Workflow
Start another manual workflow from inside the current workflow, either to chain workflows together or to run one in bulk across many objects. It appears as Trigger Workflow in the workflow builder.
What It Does
Launches the manual workflow you select for the objects you provide. The target workflow runs as if someone had clicked its manual trigger button, once for the object type and objects you configure here.
When To Use It
Use this to chain workflows, for example running a "generate summary" workflow and then triggering a separate "notify team" workflow, or to fan a single workflow run out across a batch of objects, like triggering the same manual workflow for every company in a list. The object type you select here must match what the target workflow's Manual Trigger expects.
Configuration
Configure the node with these settings:
Field | What it controls |
|---|---|
Related Object Type | The type of objects to run the workflow for: |
Related Objects | The specific objects to trigger the workflow for. Required. |
Workflow | The manual workflow to trigger. Required. Must be configured to accept the selected object type. |
Outputs
The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.
This node does not emit output variables.
Example Workflow
After Filter Prompt narrows a list of companies down to renewal risks, use Trigger Workflow to run a separate "escalate renewal risk" workflow once for each of them.
