▶️ One Automation Can Now Run Another
Call an automation from inside another automation, wait for it to finish, and use what it returns.
Run Automation starts an automation that uses a manual or scheduled trigger and waits for the result. If the automation returns a value, it shows up in the output of the component. Now you can keep shared work, such as notifications or record updates, in one flow and call it from wherever you need it. You can also split a large job into smaller automations. When you fix one of them, the fix applies everywhere it’s used.
New component
Run Automation: Starts an automation that has a manual or scheduled trigger, waits for it to finish, and returns its value in the output if there is one.
Notes
Credits: An automation started with Run Automation uses credits when it runs, even if you start it from inside the editor. Keep this in mind when you test.
Run record: In the run record of the automation started by Run Automation, the result field is empty. The returned value is available in the output of the Run Automation component in the calling automation.
