Execute Workflow Node

The Execute Workflow node calls another published indie.money agent (sub-workflow) and waits for its result.

Parameters (n8n Standard)

ParameterDescription
SourceWhere the sub-workflow is defined: Database (by ID), Local File, Parameter (inline JSON), or URL
Workflow IDThe ID of the sub-workflow to call (when source is Database)
ModeOnce (run the sub-workflow once with all items) or Each (run once per input item)
Workflow InputsData passed from the parent workflow to the sub-workflow

How It Works on indie.money

The node calls the sub-agent's execution endpoint. The sub-agent runs independently and returns its output to the parent workflow. This adds one network round-trip of latency compared to a local node.

Setup

  1. Publish the sub-workflow as a separate indie.money agent
  2. In the Create flow, map the sub-workflow's contract address at the "Link Sub-Services" step
  3. Producers who buy the parent agent may need to also buy and configure the sub-agent

Key Limitations

  • Network call — adds one round-trip of latency
  • Dual billing — Producer is charged for both the parent and sub-agent execution prices
  • Published sub-service required — The sub-agent must be a live, published indie.money agent
  • Sub-agent must be turned on and configured with credentials before calling
