Run One Automation from Another

Start another manual or scheduled automation and wait for its result.

Today, work that several automations share, such as sending a notification or updating a record, has to be rebuilt in each one. When something changes, you have to fix every copy. We’re working on a way for one automation to start another.

You’ll be able to keep shared work in a single 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.

The calling automation will wait for the started one to finish. If it returns a value, that value will show up in the output, so you can use it in the next steps.
