call a flow from a flow

[Sebastien C]

Hi,

I have 2 flows I want to call from a third one.

I found that it is possible to call a workflow, but not a flow.

Do you know if this behaviour is something possible?

You can't call a flow from another flow but you can call a subflow from a flow.  Create a subflow for those two flows and they you can call the subflow from that third flow.

Mike’s suggestion is preferred but you could also use the first Flow to do an action that triggers the 2nd Flow based on the 2nd Flow’s trigger…it could be easier if it’s a large Flow to copy it and change the trigger than to replicate as a Subflow.

Hi Ricker,

thank you for your reply. Could you please explain how you add a trigger in the 2nd flow and how you call that trigger on the first flow?

Kr,

The trigger is what starts the Flow, an event, record created, time of day....  Triggers are required on Flows.  If your Flow does not have a trigger it's a Subflow.  Suppose you have a Flow triggered by the creation of a new User record with a specific department set.  You could have your first Flow create a User record in that department.  The creation of the user record with the correct criteria then triggers the second Flow.
