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.
