Collecting child scenario output

Features
1

It’s been about 1.5 years since this question was raised here, wondering if the situation’s changed in the meantime.

When designing a scenario chain, is it possible to collect the child scenario output? Right now it seems the only variable you can retrieve from a child scenario is its Execution ID, regardless of whatever the last module outputs.

We don’t really understand why the output isn’t available; there’s no reason not to, especially as this severely limits the usefulness of child scenarios. But maybe there’s something we’re missing?

Welcome to the Make community!

Instead of using the “Run a scenario” module, try using a HTTP → Webhook trigger to trigger another scenario, then use a Webhook response module to “Send” data back to the calling/parent scenario.

I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under Platform ideas and improvements

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

I was recently contacted from Make that they wanted to implement this and wanted some feedback. I also think it’d be nice to have and kinda essential to complex development projects… Using webhooks & webhook responses are getting overwhelming x).
