howto	Call workflows from other workflows, and split large workflows into smaller components.

Sub-workflows

You can call one workflow from another workflow. This allows you to build modular, microservice-like workflows. It can also help if your workflow grows large enough to encounter memory issues. Creating sub-workflows uses the Execute Workflow and Execute Sub-workflow Trigger nodes.

Sub-wokflow executions don't count towards your plan's monthly execution or active workflow limits.
