A SharePoint 2013/2016 workflow application that allow start a SharePoint 2013 workflows from another SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The application have a two components:
- A SharePoint Designer 2013 Activity to call the another workflow (SharePoint Sandbox Feature)
- A REST Service to start the instance remotely from CSOM API (IIS Web Server)
For control purposes I added another SharePoint Designer Activity named updateByLookup to handle hierarchy changes to multiple items associated with a parent - child list (primary/secondary workflows) * you can start site workflows or list/library workflow !
For detailed implementation of functionality you can visit my blog iRunSharePoint or view the MS approach in the Microsoft related page Published by: Ernesto Garcia
