How to Create a Sub Flow

To Create a Subflow: Navigate to Smart Flows from left sidebarClick on New Flow mceclip1.png Select the flow type as Sub Flow mceclip1(1).png Select the Execution Method,- In synchronous execution: The subflow runs immediately without any delays or wait steps, so it’s perfect if you need real-time results from the subflow to use in the main flow.
  • In asynchronous execution: The subflow can include wait steps like pausing to wait for a response. However, you won’t be able to use output variables from the subflow in the main flow.Add the following details,
  • Name: Assign a suitable title for the flow.
  • Folder: Choose an appropriate folder for the flow.
  • Description: Provide a brief explanation of the flow’s purpose.Once done click on Create.

Practical Example

This subflow automatically creates a follow-up task and sends an internal follow-up email to the user, eliminating the need to manually add these steps in other Smart Flows. By incorporating this subflow, you save time and reduce repetitive work across workflows. mceclip4.png
