Hands on 9 – creating reusable processes using an invocable process
Invocable processes can call one process from another process. Using invocable processes, you can reuse sections of your processes. You can create an invocable process and call it from multiple processes, or from multiple action groups in the same process. You can invoke processes with objects that share at least one unique ID.
For example, in the Opportunity and Quote objects, the OpportunityID field is unique to Opportunity, and is also used by Quote. You can create an invocable process that updates an Opportunity record. Then, you can invoke it from the following:
- A process that updates an Opportunity record
- A process that updates a Quote record
When you create a process, make sure that you start it when another process invokes it, by selecting It’s invoked by another process.
