Run another Parabola flow

The Run another Parabola flow step gives you the ability to trigger runs of other Parabola flows within a flow.

Running other Flows

Select the flow you want to trigger during your current flow's run. No data will pass through this step. It's strictly a trigger to automatically begin a consecutive run of a secondary flow.

However, if you choose “Run once per row with a file URL”, data will be passed to the second Flow, which can be read using the Pull from file queue step.

Use the Run behavior setting to indicate how the other Flow should run. The options that include wait will cause the step to wait until the second Flow has finished before it can complete it’s calculation. The other options will not wait.

Using this step in a Flow

This step can be used with or without input arrows. If you place this step into a Flow without input arrows, it will be the first step to run. If it does have input arrows, then it will run according to the normal sequence of the Flow. Any per row options require input arrows.

Helpful tips

  • This step is only available on our Advanced plan.
  • It can be beneficial or necessary to split large and complex Parabola flows into multiple pieces. In order for your data to processed correctly, you may need a flow to run exactly after another flow. In this case, you can add the Run another Parabola flow step destination after the last step of your flow, and have it trigger the next flow in your sequence.
  • The flow that you're trying to trigger must be published. If you're unable to find a flow in the drop-down list, make sure it is published (ie. a live version of the flow exists).
