Ability to use workflows like script functions?

MikeD — Question ·

I would like to create one API connection workflow and call it in multiple workflows like a script function. As far as I can tell, there is no way to do this. Am I missing something, or is this something you're looking to impliment?

There a couple advantages to this, but the main ones for me are:

  • If the API ever changes / breaks, I can fix it once instead of going through all workflows one by one
  • Implementing it will be a lot faster. I won't have to write the same steps every single time I'm using it.

You can actually, and you can do it in many ways actually.

1. Create a custom app, here is the full documentation link - https://forum.pabbly.com/forums/pabbly-connect-app-integration-guide/
2. Send data to another workflow with Webhook as trigger and then use API step and then use Data Forwarder - Return Data to Source action. This approach will waste few extra tasks but you will still achieve what you're trying to do.

Hm, interesting. Looks like this will take a little more work than I was hoping for currently, but I have it bookmarked.

Thanks!
