Action - Execute Flows
The action Execute Flows executes one or multiple flows specified in the field Flow pattern list.
Tip: It's also possible to execute utility flows that don't have their own trigger. Simply don't add a trigger to such a flow but ensure that the flow is enabled.
The executed flow will inherit the execution context with all variables of the parent flow.
The variables usually supplied by the trigger of the target flow will not be available since the trigger of the target flow is bypassed when using this action.
Examples:
- Execute all flows with the words battery save in the name when the battery reaches a critical level.
