What is Start Another Action Step

The Start Another Action step in Yeeflow allows a workflow to trigger another predefined action or process within the same or even in a different workflow. This feature is key to building modular, reusable workflows by linking them together or triggering parallel tasks.


When to Use Start Another Action Step

You can use the Start Another Action step when you need to:

  • Trigger multiple actions in sequence or in parallel

  • Reuse existing actions from other workflows without duplicating them

  • Handle complex workflows that require multiple processes to be activated at different points

Use Cases

The Start Another Action step is useful in various scenarios, such as:

  1. Task Dependency Management: When one task depends on the completion of another, this step can trigger the next task or process after the first one finishes.

  2. Parallel Process Execution: Use this step to start multiple actions or workflows that run in parallel but still rely on certain conditions being met.

  3. Modular Workflow Design: Instead of duplicating similar actions across multiple workflows, you can trigger reusable actions from other workflows, streamlining processes.


How to Use Start Another Action Step

1. Execution Condition

  • The Execution Condition defines when this step will execute. You can set specific conditions that must be met for the action to be triggered.

  • You can also check the option Continue next step when condition is not met, which allows the workflow to proceed to the next step even if the specified conditions are not fulfilled.

  • Learn more about the Execution Condition of actions.

2. Action

  • In the Action section, select the desired action from the dropdown list that you want to trigger.

  • Alternatively, you can create a new action by clicking the '+New action' button, which allows you to define a new action directly from within this configuration.

By setting the Execution Condition and selecting or creating an action, the Start Another Action step can be fully integrated into your workflow, enabling dynamic and modular task management.
