The Workflow trigger (Workflow Output) starts a workflow from the output of another workflow. This lets you chain workflows together so one hands its result to the next.
When to use it
Use it to break a large automation into smaller, reusable pieces: one workflow gathers and cleans data, another writes content from it, a third publishes. Chaining keeps each workflow focused and easier to maintain.
Configuration
- Add a Trigger node and choose Workflow Output from the WordPress group.
- Select the source workflow from the list. The current workflow is excluded automatically.
When the source workflow finishes, its output starts this one and is passed in as the trigger data.
Using the incoming data
[Input from trigger-1]
If the source workflow produced structured or named data, you can reference specific fields with [[field] from trigger-1]. See Data Flow and Variable Handling.
Local and Cloud
No credits. Chaining works in both Local vs Cloud execution modes. For long chains, Cloud mode avoids PHP timeouts.
