Workflow System

The Workflow system allows you to trigger other flows from within a flow, enabling flow composition and reusability.

Overview​

The triggerWorkflow function loads and executes another flow from the flows directory. This allows you to:

  • Break complex flows into smaller, reusable components
  • Create modular workflows
  • Chain flows together

Available Functions​

Common Use Cases​

Modular Flow Design​

-- Trigger a sub-flow for data validation
local success = triggerWorkflow("validate-data")
if success then
    Logger.info("Validation passed")
else
    Logger.error("Validation failed")
end

Flow Composition​

-- Execute multiple flows in sequence
triggerWorkflow("prepare-data")
triggerWorkflow("process-data")
triggerWorkflow("save-results")

Conditional Flow Execution​

if SessionState.get("userType") == "admin" then
    triggerWorkflow("admin-workflow")
else
    triggerWorkflow("user-workflow")
end

Important Notes​

  • Triggered flows execute in the same session context
  • SessionState is shared between the parent and child flows
  • The function returns true if the flow executed successfully, false otherwise
  • Flow names should match the directory name in the flows directory
