Cloud Workflow - Invoke Workflow activity and starting entries

asked on July 19, 2021

Hello,

I'm working on a series of Cloud workflows that are invoked by each other. In on-prem environments, the Invoke Workflow activity allows me to set the starting entry of the invoked workflow, but I don't see a way to do that in Cloud. I have some workarounds in my head involving passing the Entry ID as an input parameter to the invoked workflow, but wanted to check here first and see if I'm missing something.

 

I usually add some starting rules to these invoked workflows so that certain actions in the repository can kick them off too, so I'd need to add some activities in this workflow to determine if it was invoked and should use the input parameter or if it should use the actual starting entries tokens.

 

Thanks!

Hey Jacob!

Your suspicions are correct: passing the Entry ID via an Input Parameter is what we've been doing. It's also I suspect the only way currently because that's what the VAR Cloud demos do as well.

I really hope they get this fixed.  Seems wasteful to have to find the entry instead of just passing it in the invoke.
