Hey, Im new and trying to connect a sub workflow to my main workflow, by using the call n8n workflow feature. But when i give the other workflow input like name and email adress and stuff it won’t show in the main workflow, so that i can’t edit anything or use ai on it. Hope you get the problem and someone can help me real quick. Would be awesome, cause im kinda stick and already tried everything with chatgpt
Hello @Fynn1 I will suggest following this part of the docs.
For example you have to define what will you pass from the main workflow like this:
After that is done you have to adjust the sub-workflow:
Hey @Fynn1 !
First be sure you add first the parameters in the sub-workflow Trigger , then it will be visible in the main workflow tool.
Cheers!
The Point is, that the inputs aren’t visible here. I created the sub workflow the way it’s explained in the docs, but the inputs won’t show there. I have to say I am new to n8n, so maybe i’m just overlooking something. Thanks so far, maybe you have another advice for me ![]()
The sub-workflow need to be Published after every Input Schema add/change
![]()
@Fynn1 Hey could you please shoot the whole JSON of the workflow so we can take look? Thanks!
I had to publish it, thanks for the help!
