:question:

I have a scenario that needs to run after another scenario ran successfully.

Is there a way to trigger a scenario run from another scenario?


:reply:

That is definitely possible! Let’s take a look at how to go about accomplishing it :brain:

To make things easier for us, let’s start from the end, i.e. from the second scenario that you’ll want to trigger after the first scenario successfully ran.

First of all, you’ll need to create a webhook. That will be the starting module of the scenario that you want to trigger. In order to set everything up, use the “Copy address to clipboard” button.

Secondly, put an HTTP module “Make a request” at the end of the first scenario and paste the URL of the Webhook to the “URL” field:

And that’s it! :magic_wand:


Now, every time your scenario gets to the HTTP module, the module will send an HTTP request and trigger the custom webhook at the start of the second scenario :nerd_face:

Don’t you think it is much simpler and clear to have a run scenario API in the Make module instead of defining a new webhook and then calling it?
I could not find Run scenario module, but there is a run scenario permission when I want to create an access tocken!

Look at this question and its answer: Why the Make app does not have `Run a Scenario` module?

To anyone who is still having trouble with triggering a scenario from another scenario as described above. I’m kind of a newbie, but I discovered that you have to turn on the second scenario from either the main “scenario” list or just below the Run once button. I believe you also have to choose “Immediately as data arrives” from the scheduling menu at the bottom, which I think is the default.
