Introduction to SubWorkflows
Modern businesses often deal with complex processes that require multiple steps and decision points. Nested workflows, also known as subworkflows, offer a powerful solution to manage intricate processes effectively. This article provides a comprehensive demo on working with nested workflows, exploring their benefits and implementation.
Understanding Nested / SubWorkflows
Nested workflows involve the integration of one workflow within another. The parent workflow calls the nested workflow, which can have its own steps, decision points, and outcomes. This hierarchical approach enables the division of complex processes into manageable units.
