Call another existing workflow from within a new workflow

[AgataWlodarczyk]

Can I call another existing workflow from within my new workflow?

Yes, triggering a workflow from within a workflow is possible, currently via the automation SDKs and APIs.

On the roadmap is the concept of sub-workflows which can be added as tasks.

HI.

Can you give an example of how a workflow could trigger another workflow? 

Does some task workflow somehow call another one?

Thank you

Hi

Yes, currently you can use a workflow task like "HTTP request" (calling the workflow API) or "Run Javascript" (adding the Automation SDK). 

On the roadmap we have the concept of subworkflows as well. We'll keep you posted.

Hi Steven,

I belive your looking for the following documentation to run via Javascript (https://developer.dynatrace.com/develop/sdks/client-automation/#runworkflow) and example of how to use this function would be:

import { workflowsClient } from "@dynatrace-sdk/client-automation";

const data = await workflowsClient.runWorkflow({
id: "...",
body: {},
});

where id is the UUID of the workflow you want to run
