Workflow App Plugin – Invoke Action​

Summary (SEO Meta Description):
The Invoke Action of the Workflow App Plugin lets you call a published workflow app from within another workflow.
This enables modular automation, allowing you to reuse and orchestrate workflows efficiently.


Overview​

Use the Invoke Action to run an existing published workflow app inside a parent workflow.
This action is ideal for chaining workflows or creating reusable workflow modules.

Typical Use Cases:

  • Triggering a standardized data processing workflow from multiple parent workflows.
  • Creating multi-step business processes by linking multiple workflows.
  • Reducing duplication by centralizing shared logic in a single workflow app.
  • Implementing a microservice-like architecture inside WeHub.

FAQ​

Q: Can I invoke an unpublished workflow?
A: No. Only published workflows converted to apps are available for invocation.

Q: Does the invoked workflow run independently?
A: Yes. It runs as a separate workflow instance but can pass results back if designed to return output.

Q: How are input and output schemas handled?
A: The parent workflow must pass data in the format required by the invoked workflow app.
Outputs follow the schema defined by the invoked workflow.
