lemikeone Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi guys, I am looking for the possibility to use a workflow in another workflow. I have a workflow that I use a lot in some other workflows, and I have to make a copy of it every time, to paste it in my new workflow. The issue is that if I improve the original workflow, I have then to update all the other workflows that I have created that use this workflow to reflect the change. Is there a solution for that? Thanks a lot for your help, Link to comment

lemikeone Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Thanks @deanishe, indeed, call External Trigger Output is exactly what I needed. The only thing is that when I add a block of this type, it seems that I can't add any other block after it. How can I make it part of a workflow in this case? Thanks in advance, Link to comment

They work like an x-callback-url URL scheme. If you want to retrieve data via another workflow's External Trigger, you need to set it up so you can tell it to call an External Trigger in your workflow with the response. Or tell it which file to write the response to and watch for that file in the calling workflow. As an example, my Firefox Assistant workflow has an External Trigger you can use to get the title & URL of the active tab. Edited January 13, 2021 by deanishe Link to comment
