Studio User Guide
Last updated Nov 18, 2024
Using the Workflows object
In coded automations, you can call other coded (CS) or low-code (XAML) automations using
the
workflows object. This object, an instance of the
WorkflowRunnerService class from the CodedWorkflow
partial class, can run all workflows in a project.
The
workflows object lists every workflow in your project, regardless of
folder placement. If workflows with the same name exist in different folders, the folder
structure prefixes one to avoid confusion.
Compared to the
RunWorkflow method, the workflows
object allows you to invoke other automations dynamically, meaning that whatever change
you bring to the file that was invoked somewhere else in the project, its references
will be updated, including any potential errors.
This tutorial shows how to use the
workflows object to invoke low-code
workflows (XAML) within coded automations (CS). Secondly, it shows the use of the
Invoke Workflow File activity to call coded automations within low-code
automations.
Through this tutorial, you will create the following automations:
Random- A coded workflow (CS file) that generates a random value within a specific range determined by minimum and maximum integer values you provide. It then delivers the generated random value back to the calling environment.Increment- A low-code XAML workflow that increments the received value by 1.IncrementProxy- This coded workflow (a CS file) takes the randomly generated value from theRandomworkflow, invokes theIncrementXAML workflow on this value (using theworkflowsobject), and then returns the incremented result to the calling environment.Main- This entry-point workflow integrates all the other workflows by invoking theRandomand theIncrementProxycoded workflows using the Invoke Workflow File activity. Finally, it prints the incremented random value to the output.
Sample project
To follow the steps in these tutorials, check out the following sample project, that covers the examples for every scenario documented: Hybrid Automations Using Workflows Object.
