# Run Workflow

The *Run Workflow* task lets the user integrate a workflow within a workflow. It works on the concept of a nested workflow. You can therefore execute multiple workflows within one workflow.

1. First, we will drag-and-drop the *Run Workflow* object from the Toolbox. Right-click on the object’s header and select *Properties* from the context menu.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This object is present only in the Workflow Tasks section of the Toolbox in a workflow designer.
{% endhint %}

![](/files/ekIc1RybKRKvltTxk6No)

This will open the *Start Workflow Job Properties* window.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you are using a project that contains workflows, you can simply drag-and-drop a .wfs document to the workflow designer and it will create a pre-configured *Run Workflow* object.
{% endhint %}

With this, we conclude the configuration and working of the *Run Workflow* object in Astera.
