The subflow action lets you trigger another workflow from within your current Workflow, treating it as a reusable sub-component. This reduces duplication, simplifies logic, and ensures consistency across your automations.
Subflows must be On-Demand Workflows that are both published and active.
Subflows support a maximum nesting depth of 10 levels. If this limit is exceeded, the parent workflow will fail.

​
Subflow Configuration

In the Workflow Editor, open the inline action panel to add an action, navigate to the Subflows tab. Select the On-Demand Workflow you want to add as a Subflow. This will let you run the chosen On-Demand Workflow as a step within your current workflow.

​
Subflow Run Modes

Input parameters of workflows used as subflows cannot be modified or deleted. Doing so will break any parent Workflows that depend on them
Subflows can be executed in two distinct modes:

​
Synchronous Mode

Synchronous mode means the parent Workflow will wait for the completion of the subflow before running other steps.
  • Run Mode: Synchronous mode is the default option
  • Use draft version in edit mode: Enabling this configuration allows you to use the latest saved draft version of the subflow, instead of the latest published version. This configuration applies to edit mode only. To select this option, click the toggle mode button.
  • Timeout(m): Enter the time (in minutes) after which the subflow will stop running if it hasn’t completed.

​
Asynchronous Mode

Asynchronous mode means that the parent Workflow will run the subflow and continue to the next step without waiting for the subflow to finish.
Running a subflow asynchronously improves efficiency, as the parent Workflow can continue without waiting for the subflow to finish.
  • Run Mode: Toggle the button to enable Asynchronous mode
  • Use draft version in edit mode: Enabling this configuration allows you to use the latest saved draft version of the subflow, instead of the latest published version. This configuration applies to edit mode only. To select this option, click the toggle mode button.
  • Execution Time: The time (in minutes) at which the subflow will run. You can schedule it to start at a later time. Any delay shorter than 2 minutes will trigger the subflow immediately
  • Timeout(m): Enter the time (in minutes) after which the subflow will stop running if it hasn’t completed.
