I am making a multi flow chatbot, how do i make it so a flow can be triggered by another flow? for example:

  • If Flow 1 ends with: start Flow 2 automation
  • In flow 2, which first step should i put so its triggered when a action is Flow 2 automation?

@blessingkp13 at the end of Flow 1, add a block to ‘Start Automation’, and select Flow 2.

That’s all!

Hi ​@JakeLake ,
To find the button to start a new automation, you can follow one of these two options:

Click to add the next step, then select "Start automation":


You can also click the "+" button and choose "Start automation":

If I connect it to a Flow Trigger API, does it work the same?

Yes, it’s possible to add the contact to a flow via the API, using the following endpoint:

HI all, great answers…

I need your help with the following.
All flows begin with triggers.
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) ?
