Hello @random_guy_tech ,

In Adobe Campaign Classic, you can use JavaScript to interact with workflows, including calling one workflow from another. The JavaScript can be used within a "JavaScript" activity or within a script within an "Execute JavaScript" activity. To trigger another workflow programmatically, you'll typically use the workflow object and its methods.

// Define the ID of the workflow you want to call
var targetWorkflowId = 'your_target_workflow_id';

// Load the target workflow
var targetWorkflow = xtk.workflow.load(targetWorkflowId);

// Check if the workflow was loaded successfully
if (targetWorkflow) {
// Execute the target workflow
// 'targetWorkflow.run()' will start the workflow immediately
targetWorkflow.run();

// Optionally, log the successful execution
logInfo('Workflow ' + targetWorkflowId + ' has been triggered successfully.');
} else {
// Log an error if the workflow could not be loaded
logError('Workflow ' + targetWorkflowId + ' could not be loaded.');
}

Explanation

1. Define the Workflow ID:

   • Replace 'your_target_workflow_id' with the actual ID of the workflow you want to trigger.

2. Load the Workflow:

   • Use xtk.workflow.load(targetWorkflowId) to load the workflow based on its ID.

3. Check and Execute the Workflow:

   • Check if the workflow was loaded successfully. If so, call targetWorkflow.run() to start the workflow.
   • Use logInfo or logError for logging purposes to track the status of the workflow execution.
