WFA - Check if Workflow gets triggered by another Workflow

SYNTAXERROR — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:24:30 GMT

Hi Guys

I need some help with a Workflow which is as follows:

"send mail" -> "wait for approval" -> rest of the Workflow

If the above Workflow gets executed by an user it should send the mail and wait for the approval from a storage administrator. If the Workflow gets executed by another Workflow WFA should disable the first two commands ("send mail" and "wait for approval") and only execute the rest.

I know how to do execution conditions but I'm searching for a way to check if the Workflow was invoked by another one or not.

Thx for the help!

Cheers Dario

Dario,

Not sure if there is a way to tell what triggered a workflow or not but to handle this I think you could probably pass a variable value to the workflow that has the checks and only have those checks run if the variable was not found. Create a triggeredByWorkflow variable and set your execution conditions based on the existiance of that var.

Thank You,

Nick
