Learn how to use the Trigger Calls slash command to start other workflows
The /trigger-call
command allows you to start other workflows from within your current workflow. Think of it like a remote control that can start other automated processes. Perfect for:
Start another workflow using the trigger command:
Trigger URL
: The web address where your target workflow lives
Trigger API Key
: Your security key for accessing the workflow
See API Triggers documentation for more information.
wait
: Controls whether to wait for the triggered workflow to complete
true
: Wait for completion (default)
false
: Don’t wait (fire and forget)
The Monitor interface provides a centralized view of all your trigger call executions. You can:
wait: false
Be cautious when implementing trigger calls to prevent infinite loops or excessive execution:
You can combine trigger calls with the datastore to create a job queue system. See Job Queues for more information.
If you want to keep your API key out of your generated steps in plain text, you can store it as a secret in the datastore and then retrieve it at runtime. See Secrets for more information. This approach would also allow you to rotate your API key without having to update your workflow.
The Trigger Calls command makes it easy to connect your workflows. Start with the basics and expand as needed!
