Workflow Manager Plugin
Summary (SEO Meta Description):
The Workflow Manager Plugin in WeHub provides control over workflow execution.
It allows starting or stopping workflows dynamically within automation pipelines.
Overview
The Workflow Manager Plugin enables workflows to orchestrate other workflows.
With it, you can start or stop workflows as part of larger automation logic, ensuring that processes only run when needed.
This is especially useful for complex orchestration, error recovery, and controlled execution across projects.
⚙️ Actions
1. Start Workflow
- Description: Dynamically start a specified workflow.
- Use Case: Trigger another workflow after the current one finishes a critical step.
2. Stop Workflow

FAQ
Q: Can I manage multiple workflows in the same node?
A: No. Each Workflow Manager node controls one workflow. Use multiple nodes for multiple workflows.
Q: What happens if I try to start a workflow that’s already running?
A: A new instance of the workflow is started, unless restricted by workflow settings.
Q: Can I stop workflows across different projects?
A: Only workflows within your accessible organization/project can be started or stopped.
