HI all, thank you for the quick response.

I need your help with the following.
All flows begin with triggers is what I noticed.

So If flow 1 has triggers but flow 2 doesn’t.
Will flow 2 still start when Flow 1 initiates it (with the Start automation feature) ?

@attractingabundance22 you need an event to start a flow, always.

This can be a trigger, or a ‘Start Automation’ step from another flow, connected to this automation.

If you don’t have anything at the beginning of the flow, there’s no event starting this automation, so it’ll never run.
