run subworkflows in a workflow

[Snow Tomcal]

HI, 

I am trying to run multi workflows asynchronously from run script activity in a different workflow. we tried to use sn_fd.FlowAPI but nothing happened 

attaching the script-

for(var i=0; i<5; i++){

sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('global.flow_name').inBackground().withInputs(input_object).run();

}

I am looking at the workflow history and nothing happens.

Thank you!!

Hi @Snow Tomcal 

If I understood correctly, you want to run another flow from your parent flow. If Yes, you can make use of Create Code Snippet Utility and then try calling your flow.

Hello @Snow Tomcal,

I am not sure if your case is a flow or a workflow that you want to execute by a script, you are using the flow API if you want to call a workflow please try what was explained in this question:

https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/run-workflow-from-background-script/m-p/1904248

var gr = new GlideRecord('table');

gr.initialize();

gr.insert();

var wflw = new Workflow();
wflw.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), gr, 'insert');

Hope that this helps you!
