# Add a resource operation step to invoke a subflow

# Add a resource operation step to invoke a subflow {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Invoke a subflow by adding an operation step to a resource and linking it to a new or existing subflow.

## Before you begin

Make sure the Orchestration application is installed.

Role required: Cloud user, designer, or admin

## Procedure

1. In the Cloud Admin Portal, navigate to DesignResource Blocks.
2. Set the resource block to Draft state by toggling the publish and then select OperationsStepsAdd Step.  
   The Add Operation Steps form appears.
3. From the Operation Type list, select Invoke Flow.
4. From the Content Type list, select Subflow.  
   Note:  
   You cannot invoke flows while adding a resource operation step. This is a known limitation.
5. Select an active subflow from the Flow/Subflow lookup list.
6. **Optional:** Specify a condition in the Condition field.
7. Select Submit.  
   The subflow operation step is attached to the resource block and appears on the page. Any input parameters associated with the subflow you selected are auto-populated on the Input tab.
8. In the Inputs subtab, select the ![Add step parameter]() icon to add a new step parameter.
   1. Add the following key value pair to the subflow.  
      {#add-resource-op-step-subflow__table_ns2_3rp_5mb__entry__2}

      | Key | Value |
      |-|-|
      | `flowcorrelationid` | `$(Script:CMPFlowStepHandler.generateCorrelationId)` |
      [ ]

      {#add-resource-op-step-subflow__table_ns2_3rp_5mb}
   {#add-resource-op-step-subflow__substeps_qqm_hwp_5mb}
9. Select the Response Processor tab and then select the plus icon.  
   The Add Response Processor dialog box appears.
10. In the Script Name list, select a script for the response processor.  
    For a script to appear in the Script Name list, the script should already have been created in the Resource Script tab. For more information, see [Configure a response processor](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xu707_neXOGOzyJuQ9yCOA "Configure a response processor to handle responses from datacenters.").
11. Select Submit.
12. Set the resource block to Publish state to incorporate your changes and publish the resource block.

## What to do next

[Create a response action for Cloud Provisioning and Governance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/m2HIjDecBcys0T8xqQqMyQ "Create a subflow with the required input parameters that notifies Cloud Provisioning and Governance whether the flow completes successfully or not.")
